Ingredients
- Full-Fat Plain Greek YogurtChoose a good quality, thick yogurt; the higher fat content ensures a creamier texture and prevents excessive ice crystal formation when frozen.
- Fresh or Frozen BlueberriesThese create the flavorful, thick reduction; frozen berries work perfectly well and are often more economical year-round.
- Maple Syrup or Agave NectarThis natural sweetener balances the tartness of the yogurt and berries, making the final bite perfectly palatable.
- Pure Vanilla PowderA splash of vanilla enhances the overall depth of the creamy yogurt base, providing a pleasant aromatic complexity.
- Fresh Lemon JuiceA small amount is added to the blueberry reduction to brighten the fruit flavor and help it thicken slightly during cooking.

Notes
- Keep the bites in an airtight container layered with parchment paper to maintain optimal texture and prevent flavor absorption from the freezer.
- For the best creamy-chewy texture, let the bites temper on the counter for 5 minutes before eating them straight from the freezer.
- To guarantee a creamy, non-icy result, stick strictly to high-quality, full-fat Greek yogurt; low-fat alternatives increase the risk of crystallization.
- Do not over-mix your swirl; 3 to 4 quick strokes with a skewer is all you need to achieve defined, contrasting ribbons instead of a muddy purple color.
