Hey there, friends! I have an absolute gem of a recipe for you today: Yogurt Covered Blueberries! This delightful treat comes together in about 30 minutes and requires no baking at all for a quick and easy snack that your family is going to adore. The best part? You can switch up the ingredients as you go, using whatever yogurt you happen to have in your fridge. It’s the perfect way to clean out those leftovers and odds and ends!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh Blueberries
- Yogurt (Plain or Flavored)
- Honey or Sugar (Optional)
- Parchment Paper
Let’s Get Cooking!
1. Wash the Blueberries
Start by giving those gorgeous blueberries a good wash. You want them sparkling and clean since they are going to be your delightful snack! After washing, make sure to pat them dry. This is key, if they’re too wet, the yogurt won’t stick as well.
2. Mix the Yogurt
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the yogurt with honey or sugar if you’re using it. Stir until it’s well-blended, and make sure it’s fully combined. If it smells a little sweet and creamy, you are on the right track!
3. Dip Each Blueberry
Now for the fun part! Dip each blueberry into the yogurt mixture, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift it out, tap it gently on the side of the bowl to shake off excess yogurt, and then transfer it to the prepared parchment paper. This step is where the magic all happens!
4. Place on Parchment Paper
Arrange the yogurt-covered blueberries on the parchment paper. Try to space them a little since they might stick together if they’re too close. Just imagine: tiny blueberry balls of joy all lined up!
5. Freeze
Here’s where patience comes in (I know, it’s hard)! Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until the yogurt is solid. You want a deliciously cool treat to bite into! This is also the time to wash the dishes if you’re the multitasking type, high five!
6. Enjoy!
Once frozen, these little beauties are ready to be devoured! They make an amazing snack or dessert, and trust me, you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again!
