For the yogurt mixture

1 cup yogurt (preferably Fage 5% Greek yogurt) This creamy yogurt provides the best texture and richness.
2 tbsp vanilla Vanilla extract adds depth to balance the flavors.
2.5 tsp lemon zest Fresh zests are essential for that pop of bright lemon flavor!
1/8 tsp cardamom This spice adds a hint of warmth; feel free to substitute with cinnamon if needed.
1/8 tsp salt Enhances the flavors beautifully.
1 tbsp honey A touch of natural sweetness works well with the yogurt.
1/2 cup freeze-dried blueberries (crushed into a fine powder) Look for high-quality brands for maximum flavor.

For coating the bites

2 cups blueberries (preferably Driscoll’s) Try to select the freshest, ripest berries for the best taste.

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of yogurt, 2 tbsp vanilla, 2 1/2 tsp lemon zest, 1/8 tsp cardamom, and 1/8 tsp salt. Whisk together until smooth.
Stir in 1 tbsp honey to add sweetness, adjusting to taste.
Crush the 1/2 cup freeze-dried blueberries into a fine powder and fold it into the yogurt mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Coat 2 cups of fresh blueberries in the yogurt mixture, ensuring they are fully covered.
Place the yogurt-coated blueberries on the baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Serving

Let the bites sit out for about 5 minutes before serving to soften slightly for easy enjoyment.

Store these bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Experiment with different fruits and extracts for variations.
