Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based yogurt (full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Blueberry Swirl
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (natural)
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: Gently heat fresh blueberries with a splash of lemon juice and a drizzle of maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the berries soften and release their juices, forming a vibrant compote. Remove from heat and blend lightly to create a smooth swirl.
- Mix the Yogurt Base: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based yogurt, vanilla extract, and natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy, ensuring the base will hold its shape when set.
- Combine and Swirl: Spoon small dollops of the blueberry compote over the yogurt base. Using a skewer or toothpick, gently swirl the blueberry mixture through the yogurt to create beautiful marble patterns without fully blending the layers.
- Portion and Chill: Spoon the swirled mixture into mini silicone molds or an ice cube tray for individual bites. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until firm yet tender.
- Enjoy: Once set, remove the bites from molds and serve immediately as a cool, flavorful snack.
Notes
- Use full-fat plant-based yogurt for better texture and creaminess.
- Do not overblend the swirl to maintain attractive blueberry streaks.
- Chill thoroughly for the best consistency and bite.
- Mini silicone molds are ideal for easy removal and perfect portion sizes.
- Adjust maple syrup to suit the tartness of your blueberries and personal preference.
