Easy Blueberry Yogurt Recipe With Greek Yogurt

This blueberry yogurt recipe is one of my favorite easy desserts and summer snacks when I want something fresh, creamy, and lighter than ice cream.

The warm blueberry compote melts slightly into the Greek yogurt while the cookies soften into almost a soft cake like layer. Especially with cantuccini, the little almond pieces give such a good crunch.

I make this recipe all the time during warmer months because it feels refreshing but still satisfying. It also has more protein than many classic desserts thanks to the Greek yogurt.

It works as an easy dessert, quick breakfast, or lighter sweet snack during the afternoon.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

Blueberry Compote

• 1 1/2 cups blueberries (200 g)
• 2 tsp maple syrup or sugar
• 1 to 2 tbsp water

Yogurt Layer

• 3/4 cup low fat Greek yogurt (200 g)
• Crunch Layer
• 4 to 6 cantuccini cookies (40 to 50 g)

Optional:

• Extra maple syrup for sweetening yogurt
• Granola instead of cookies
• Chocolate chips for topping

Method

1. Add the blueberries and water to a small saucepan. Heat gently for a few minutes until the blueberries soften and release their juices.
2. Stir while cooking and lightly crush the berries with a spoon. For a smoother blueberry yogurt texture, briefly blend the mixture with an immersion blender.
3. Mix in the maple syrup or sugar. Let the blueberry compote cool slightly so it stays warm but not hot.
4. Roughly crush the cantuccini cookies.
5. Add half of the cookies to the bottom of two glasses.
6. Spoon part of the warm blueberry mixture over the cookies so they soften slightly.
7. Add half of the Greek yogurt on top.
8. Repeat the layers with the remaining cookies, blueberry compote, and yogurt.
9. Finish with extra blueberry compote on top.
10. Let the dessert rest for at least 10 minutes before serving so the layers soften slightly and the flavors combine.

Equipment

• Small saucepan
• Dessert glasses or jars
• Optional immersion blender

Notes

• Do not overcook the blueberries. Heating them briefly helps preserve freshness and nutrients
• Greek yogurt and blueberries are naturally high in protein, antioxidants, and vitamins.
• Cantuccini give the dessert a really good crunch and slightly cake like texture once softened
• For a lower sugar blueberry Greek yogurt recipe, use sugar free jam or natural sweeteners.
• You can replace Greek yogurt with skyr, blended cottage cheese, or quark mixed with milk.
• Granola works well instead of cookies if you want a breakfast version.
  This recipe is also delicious with apple sauce and speculoos cookies during colder months.

Ingredient Notes

Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt makes this blueberry yogurt recipe creamy while adding protein and a lighter texture. Low fat Greek yogurt works especially well here.

Blueberries are naturally rich in antioxidants and vitamin C which may help support overall health and protect the body from oxidative stress. According to Healthline, blueberries are also linked to several potential health benefits thanks to their high antioxidant content.

Cantuccini Cookies
These cookies give the dessert crunch while slowly softening from the warm berry layer. I especially love the almond pieces inside.

Maple Syrup
A small amount helps balance the tartness of the berries without making the dessert overly sweet.

Variations

• Use granola instead of cookies for a breakfast version
• Add chocolate chips for a sweeter dessert
• Use skyr for extra protein
• Blend cottage cheese for a creamy texture
• Replace blueberries with raspberries or strawberries
• Use sugar free jam for a lower sugar version
• Add cinnamon and apple sauce during winter
• Use speculoos cookies for a Christmas variation

Preparation Tips

• Heat the blueberries only briefly
• Let the compote cool slightly before layering
• Add the berry mixture directly over the cookies so they soften better
• Let the dessert rest before eating
• If using quark, thin it slightly with milk
• Do not oversweeten the yogurt if you want a fresher taste

Storage Tips

Store the blueberry yogurt dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

The cookies soften more over time which still tastes really good if you enjoy softer layered desserts.
