Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh blueberries

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup granola (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberries: Begin by thoroughly rinsing the fresh blueberries under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel and set them aside. If desired, for added sweetness, gently toss the blueberries with a teaspoon of honey in a small bowl.

    Make the Cream Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, vanilla Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and sea salt. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. Be cautious not to over-whip; the goal is to achieve a light and fluffy consistency reminiscent of whipped cream.

      Incorporate the Blueberries: Gently fold the prepared blueberries into the whipped cream mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base.

        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 full. This ensures easy release once frozen.

          Optional Topping: For an added crunch, sprinkle a small amount of granola on top of each filled mold before freezing.

            Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and allow it to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the bites are completely firm.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully remove the cream bites from the molds. If they seem stubborn, let them sit at room temperature for a couple of minutes to soften slightly for easier removal.

                Enjoy: Serve these delightful, creamy bites immediately as a refreshing snack or dessert. They can be stored in a sealed container in the freezer for up to two weeks for you to enjoy later!
