Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Base
- 1 cup vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup granola (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Blueberries: Wash the fresh blueberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel to remove excess water, ensuring the clusters freeze well without being watery.
- Mix Yogurt Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt with honey and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended, providing a sweet and creamy foundation for the clusters.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the washed blueberries into the yogurt mixture, taking care not to mash the fruit so the clusters retain their shape and texture.
- Add Nuts and Granola: Incorporate the chopped walnuts and granola (if using) into the mixture, distributing them evenly for added crunch and flavor.
- Scoop and Freeze: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, place dollops of the yogurt-blueberry mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space the clusters slightly apart to prevent sticking.
- Freeze Until Solid: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, or until the clusters are firm and fully set.
- Store: Once solid, transfer the frozen clusters to an airtight container and store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Consume within 1-2 weeks for best freshness.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm blueberries for the best texture; avoid frozen berries as they can make the clusters watery.
- For a different nut option, try pecans or almonds instead of walnuts.
- Granola is optional; omit for a nut-only cluster or add your favorite crunchy mix.
- Use honey or maple syrup based on taste preference and dietary needs.
- These clusters are best enjoyed directly from the freezer as a cool, refreshing snack.
