1cupwhole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
2tablespoonsvanilla extract
2teaspoonsgratedlemon zest
¼teaspoonground cardamomorcinnamon
⅛teaspoonsalt
2cupsfresh blueberries
Directions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place ⅓ cup freeze-dried blueberries in a zip-top plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush the berries into a very fine powder. Transfer the powder to a medium bowl; stir in 1 cup yogurt, 2 tablespoons vanilla, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, ¼ teaspoon cardamom (or cinnamon) and ⅛ teaspoon salt until smooth. Add 2 cups blueberries; stir to coat.
Using a fork, remove 1 blueberry from the yogurt, tapping excess yogurt off; use a wooden pick to push the blueberry off the fork onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining blueberries, leaving space between them. Place the baking sheet, uncovered, in the freezer until the bites are frozen, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove from the freezer 5 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Store the blueberry yogurt bites in an airtight, freezer-safe container. They should last for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 month in the freezer.
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but use fresh for the best results. If you do use frozen berries, make sure to thaw them only slightly (not completely) before using, as the yogurt mixture might have trouble sticking to the berries.
