Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)
- Prepare the Freezer: Place a cookie sheet into the freezer and allow it to chill for at least 1 hour. This step ensures the yogurt sets quickly when dipped blueberries are placed on it.
- Clean Blueberries: Thoroughly wash the blueberries under cold water, then dry them completely to ensure the yogurt adheres well.
- Line the Cookie Sheet: Remove the frozen cookie sheet from the freezer and cover it with a sheet of wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Yogurt for Dipping: Spoon the Greek yogurt into a bowl or cup, making it easy to dip each blueberry.
- Dip Blueberries: Skewer each blueberry with a toothpick, then fully dip it into the Greek yogurt, coating each berry evenly.
- Place on Cookie Sheet: Arrange the yogurt-coated blueberries on the prepared wax or parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
- Freeze: Place the cookie sheet back into the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until the yogurt coating is completely frozen and set.
- Store: Once frozen, gently peel the frozen blueberries off the paper and transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Keep frozen until ready to enjoy as a cool, healthy treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Ensure blueberries are completely dry before dipping to help yogurt stick better.
- For added sweetness, stir in a small amount of honey or maple syrup into the yogurt before dipping.
- Frozen yogurt covered blueberries are best eaten within 2 weeks for optimum freshness.
- Experiment with flavored Greek yogurts like vanilla or strawberry for different taste profiles.
- Use toothpicks or small forks to make dipping easier and less messy.
