Prep Time: 10 minutes
Freeze Time: 2–3 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 18–20 bites
Ingredients
- ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup (75 g) fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey (or use a sugar-free sweetener if desired)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberries
- Wash and thoroughly dry the blueberries.
- Set a few aside for garnish if desired.
Step 2: Make the Yogurt Mixture
- In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using).
- Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Coat the Blueberries
- Fold the blueberries gently into the yogurt, or dip each blueberry individually for a cleaner, rounder look.
Step 4: Freeze
- Line a baking tray or plate with parchment paper.
- Place spoonfuls of the yogurt-coated blueberries onto the tray, or arrange individually if dipping.
- Freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
Step 5: Serve
- Enjoy straight from the freezer.
- Let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before eating for the creamiest texture.
Tips for Success
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest bites.
- Dry the blueberries well so the yogurt sticks properly.
- Freeze in a single layer before transferring to a storage container.
- For the swirled look shown in the photo, lightly mash half the blueberries and swirl them into the yogurt instead of fully mixing.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
