These mini blueberry yogurt bites are the perfect combination of simplicity, flavor, and fun. Made with just three ingredients, they’re ideal for a healthy snack or a quick dessert that everyone will love. Whether you’re looking for a guilt-free treat for your kids or a cool, refreshing snack for yourself, these little bites are both adorable and delicious.
Our family enjoys frozen yogurt as a favorite treat. While trips to self-serve frozen yogurt shops are always exciting, they aren’t something we can enjoy every day. That’s where these mini yogurt bites come in—they offer all the flavor and fun in a convenient, homemade version that’s ready straight from your freezer.
One of the best things about these yogurt bites is their portion size. Kids can take just one or two bites at a time, avoiding messy spills or half-eaten bowls of yogurt left on the table. Keeping a container of these in the freezer makes snack time easy and stress-free.
Why These Yogurt Bites Work
This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves simple, customizable treats. The yogurt provides creaminess, the jam adds a touch of natural sweetness, and the blueberries give a pop of flavor and color. You can adjust the sweetness depending on the type of yogurt you use, or how much jam you swirl in. For an extra simple version, choose a packaged yogurt that already includes a small portion of jam in a separate compartment—making it a true two-ingredient treat.
These yogurt bites are also highly versatile. Use plain, vanilla, or coconut yogurt for different flavor profiles. Try a smooth raspberry, blueberry, or strawberry jam to complement the fresh blueberries. You can even experiment with honey or other natural sweeteners to create a variety of flavors for your freezer stash.
The Secret to Perfect Shapes
Silicone molds are a game-changer when it comes to small frozen treats. They make creating uniform, professional-looking shapes effortless. Candy molds, cupcake liners, or small heart-shaped molds work perfectly for these yogurt bites. Each mold holds about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of mixture, making them the perfect single-bite size.
Overfilling the molds slightly ensures the yogurt bites come out perfectly shaped, while using a small spatula or butter knife to scrape off the excess gives a neat, clean edge. The non-stick nature of silicone makes popping the frozen bites out simple, and cleanup is quick.
How to Customize Your Yogurt Bites
There’s room for creativity with this recipe. Here are a few ways to make them your own:
- Fruit Variations: Swap blueberries for raspberries, chopped strawberries, or tiny pieces of mango.
- Flavorful Yogurt: Try Greek yogurt for a tangier taste or flavored coconut yogurt for a tropical twist.
- Sweetness Adjustments: Control the sweetness with your yogurt choice and the amount of jam used. Smooth jams without large fruit pieces work best to create a swirl effect without uneven lumps.
- Mold Shapes: Experiment with fun shapes for holidays or parties. Stars, hearts, and flower molds make these treats extra festive.
Easy Steps to Make Them
Making these mini yogurt bites is straightforward and kid-friendly. Swirl the jam into your yogurt without fully mixing to get that pretty marbled effect. Fill the molds two-thirds of the way, add a blueberry to each mold, then top with more yogurt and smooth the edges. Freeze until solid—usually around three hours or overnight for the best results. Once frozen, these bites pop right out of the molds and are ready to enjoy anytime.
These little frozen treats are perfect for busy families. You can prep a batch ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the freezer. They’re convenient for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or a quick pick-me-up during a busy day. The combination of yogurt and fruit makes them a nutritious alternative to ice cream or other sugary desserts.
Tips for Success
- Make sure the yogurt isn’t too runny; Greek yogurt or strained yogurt works well for a firm bite.
- Smooth jam or fruit preserves swirl better and give a more appealing look.
- Use a small spatula or butter knife to create a clean finish on each bite for a professional touch.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them fresh and prevent freezer burn.
These mini blueberry yogurt bites prove that healthy snacks can also be fun and visually appealing. They’re a great way to encourage kids to enjoy fruit and yogurt in a creative way. Plus, they’re so simple to make that the whole family can join in on the fun.
