Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan alternative)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup granola (for optional topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberries: Begin by washing the fresh blueberries under cold water. After rinsing, gently pat them dry with a clean towel and set them aside. For an added touch of sweetness, consider tossing the blueberries in a teaspoon of honey before incorporating them into the mixture.

    Make the Cream Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), pure vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until soft peaks form—take care not to over-whip it; the goal is to achieve a light and fluffy texture.

      Incorporate the Blueberries: With a gentle touch, fold the prepared blueberries into the whipped cream mixture. Mix until the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base, ensuring they remain intact.

        Mold the Bites: Take a silicone ice cube tray or a mini muffin tin and carefully spoon the blueberry cream mixture into each mold, filling them about three-quarters of the way full. This allows enough space for easy removal after freezing.

          Optional Topping: For added texture, feel free to sprinkle a small amount of granola on top of each filled mold before placing them in the freezer.

            Freeze: Transfer the tray to the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the cream bites are completely solid.

              Serve: Once frozen, gently pop the cream bites out of the molds by flexing the silicone tray or using a small knife to help dislodge them. If desired, allow them to sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly, making them easier to enjoy.

                Enjoy: Serve these delightful frozen treats immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in a sealed container in the freezer for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.
