Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (natural), divided
Blueberry Puree
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (natural)
- 1 tsp natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Puree: Rinse fresh blueberries and blend them into a smooth puree. Add maple syrup (natural) and lemon juice (natural) to taste. Lightly heat this mixture on low, stirring gently until the natural gelling agent activates and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt with vanilla extract (natural) and some maple syrup (natural) to your preferred sweetness. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Create the Swirls: Alternate layering the blueberry puree and yogurt mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin cups. Use a skewer or toothpick to gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
- Set the Bites: Refrigerate the molds for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the bites to firm up with a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, carefully pop the bites out of the molds. Serve chilled immediately or store for later snacking.
Notes
- Use full-fat plant-based yogurt for best creaminess and texture.
- Swirl gently to maintain a beautiful contrast between blueberry and yogurt.
- Chilling thoroughly is key to achieving the perfect bite texture.
- Freeze molds before filling to keep layers distinct and prevent mixing.
- Choose fresh, ripe blueberries for sweeter puree and vibrant color.
