Ingredients
Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Clusters
- ½ cup thick yogurt I use Yoggu coconut yogurt; Cocojune or a Greek-style yogurt would also work
- ⅓ cup tahini well-stirred
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup if your yogurt is sweetened, omit or sweeten to taste
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom optional...for the cardamom lovers
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Chocolate Shell, optional
- 1 cup dark chocolate 70% cocoa or more
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt, tahini, vanilla and maple syrup until smooth. Add blueberries and toss to coat blueberries evenly.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop 2-3 tablespoons of blueberry mixture onto the baking sheet. You can leave them in a flatter shape or a mound (easier for chocolate coating).
- Freeze until very solid, about 2 hours. Enjoy as is...or coat in chocolate!
- Microwave method: place chocolate chips and oil in a microwave-save bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until thoroughly melted.
- Stovetop method: Add 2 inches of water to a small pot. Bring water to a simmer and then reduce heat to low. Fit a small heat proof bowl on the pot and add the chocolate and oil. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is thoroughly melted.
- To coat the clusters, you can either drizzle the chocolate over top (add more coconut oil if not runny enough to drizzle) OR you can dunk the clusters quickly into the chocolate.
- Freeze the clusters until the chocolate is firm, another 15-30 minutes. Once frozen, store in freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag. For best flavour and texture, let clusters warm for just a minute before biting in!
Notes
One cluster is low FODMAP!
