Ingredients
Scale
Yogurt Base
- 1 cup creamy (plant-based) yogurt
- 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (natural)
Blueberry Swirl
- 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon natural sweetener (maple syrup or agave)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Swirl: Simmer fresh or frozen blueberries with natural sweetener and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices. Stir in the natural gelling agent to thicken slightly. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a bowl, combine creamy (plant-based) yogurt with natural sweetener and lemon juice. Stir well until smooth. Gently fold in the cooled blueberry swirl to create a marbled effect without fully mixing.
- Portion into Molds: Spoon the swirled yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin tins lined with parchment paper. Use a toothpick or skewer to enhance the marbled swirl if desired. Do not overfill.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the molds for at least 3-4 hours until the yogurt bites are firm and set, thanks to the natural gelling agent.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients to improve texture before assembling.
- Fold the blueberry swirl gently into the yogurt to keep the marbled look.
- Opt for rich and smooth creamy (plant-based) yogurt for best results.
- Adjust natural sweetener to taste as you prepare.
- Make small batches first when experimenting with different fruits or flavors.
