š©āš³ Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20ā30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Fold in the fresh blueberries gently to avoid crushing them.
Step 3: Combine
Allow the melted white chocolate to cool slightly (so it doesnāt curdle the yogurt). Slowly fold it into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated. The mixture will thicken quickly.
Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin
Line a muffin tin with silicone liners. Spoon the mixture evenly into each cup, filling about Ā¾ full.
Step 5: Freeze
Place in the freezer for at least 2ā3 hours or until completely solid.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from liners and let sit at room temperature for 2ā3 minutes before eating for the perfect creamy texture.
