Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1 cup coconut yogurt (choose between dairy-free or regular)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust based on your desired level of sweetness)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans – optional)

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberries:

    - If you're using fresh blueberries, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and gently pat them dry with a clean towel. If using frozen blueberries, allow them to partially thaw until they’re just soft enough for blending.

      Make the Base Mixture:

        - In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Use a whisk or spatula to stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.

          Blend the Blueberries:

            - In a blender or food processor, add the prepared blueberries and pulse them until a smooth puree forms. Aim to keep some blueberry chunks for texture, and if you would like, set aside a handful of whole blueberries for a delightful burst in the finished bites.

              Combine Ingredients:

                - Carefully fold the blueberry puree into the coconut yogurt mixture using a spatula until fully combined. If you saved any whole blueberries, gently fold them in now along with the chopped nuts, if using, distributing them evenly.

                  Prepare the Mold:

                    - Line a mini muffin tin or silicone mold with paper liners or lightly coat it with coconut oil to ensure easy removal later on.

                      Fill the Molds:

                        - Spoon the blueberry-coconut mixture into each mold, filling them about three-quarters full. Tap the tin gently on your countertop to remove any air bubbles and to level the mixture.

                          Add Coconut Topping (Optional):

                            - For an added decorative touch, sprinkle a little shredded coconut on top of each mold before freezing.

                              Freeze the Bites:

                                - Place the filled mold in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the bites are completely solid.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Once fully frozen, remove the bites from the mold by gently pulling them out or utilizing a butter knife to loosen the edges. Enjoy immediately, or store the bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

                                      Thaw Before Eating (Optional):

                                        - If you prefer a softer texture, let the bites sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes prior to enjoying.
