Can I use frozen blueberries for chocolate blueberry bites?

Fresh blueberries work best because they stay firm and hold their shape when mixed with the yogurt. Frozen blueberries release a lot of liquid as they thaw, which makes the yogurt watery and the clusters harder to shape. If fresh are not available, keep the frozen berries frozen, work quickly, and expect a slightly looser cluster. For the cleanest, prettiest bites, reach for fresh blueberries whenever you can.

What kind of chocolate is best for chocolate blueberry bites?

A good-quality dark chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own is the best choice. Dark chocolate pairs beautifully with the tang of the Greek yogurt and the sweetness of the blueberries, and it sets into a crisp shell. You can absolutely use milk or white chocolate if you prefer something sweeter, but you may want to skip the optional sweetener in the yogurt to keep the bites from becoming too sweet.

Why do I need to add coconut oil to the chocolate?

The teaspoon of coconut oil thins the melted chocolate so it coats the frozen clusters in a smooth, even layer and sets into a glossy, snappy shell. Without it, the chocolate can be thick, dull, and prone to cracking. If you do not have coconut oil, a neutral oil or a small amount of refined cooking oil will do the same job in a pinch.

How long do chocolate blueberry bites last in the freezer?

Stored in an airtight container in the freezer, chocolate blueberry bites keep well for up to 2 months. Place parchment paper between layers so they do not stick together. They are best enjoyed straight from the freezer, since the yogurt center softens quickly at room temperature.

Are chocolate blueberry bites healthy?

These bites lean on whole, simple ingredients like fresh blueberries and protein-rich Greek yogurt, with just a thin shell of dark chocolate, so they make a lighter alternative to most candy or store-bought frozen treats. You control the sweetener, and dark chocolate adds antioxidants. They are still a dessert, but a much more wholesome one than most.

Instructions

Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries and Greek yogurt. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated.
Add the sweetener, if using, and mix well.
Scoop small clusters of the blueberry mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
Freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, or until the clusters are completely solid.
In a microwave safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
Remove the frozen clusters from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating completely or partially as desired.
Place the chocolate coated clusters back onto the lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.
Freeze for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve immediately or store in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Full fat Greek yogurt creates the creamiest texture.
Use high quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
Keep the bites frozen until serving for the perfect texture.
Fresh blueberries work best, but frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
