Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it down tightly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely to room temperature.
While the crust cools, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, and water. Stir and cook until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the blueberry compote cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the crust is cooled, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Gently swirl the cooled blueberry compote into the yogurt layer using a spoon or knife to create a marbled effect.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and freeze the bars for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
When ready to serve, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.
Let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
