  • 2 cups Greek yogurt

To Make the Blueberry Ripple

Method

  • Step 1

    Add the blueberries, lemon juice and brown sugar to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium high and cook until blueberries are broken down and have begun to thicken into a sauce - about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature. Set in the fridge until ready to use.

To Make the Puffed Quinoa Granola Crust

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    In a food processor, pulse almonds until crumbly. Add in dates, coconut oil, almond butter, lemon juice, vanilla and salt. Pulse until smooth. Add in rolled oats and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms. Add in puffed quinoa and pulse to just combine.

  • Step 3

    Press into prepared pan, spreading to the corners to form about a ¼ inch thick even layer on the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes; remove from oven and allow to cool completely to room temperature.

To Make the No Churn Vanilla Frozen Yogurt

  • Step 1

    Once your crust & blueberry ripple have cooled completely, prepare your frozen yogurt.

  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, powdered sugar and honey.

  • Step 3

    In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold whipping cream into yogurt mixture until combined.

  • Step 4

    Spread a thin layer of the frozen yogurt (about 1 cup) on top of the crust. Spread to the outer corners of the pan. Top with about ¼ cup of the prepared blueberry compote, and use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread the compote over the frozen yogurt layer.

  • Step 5

    Next add ½ of the remaining frozen yogurt to the pan, spreading again to the outer edges. Top with another ¼ cup of the compote and spread over frozen yogurt. Top with remaining ½ of frozen yogurt mixture and spread to the outer edges of the pan. Drizzle a few more tablespoons of the blueberry ripple on top, and use a knife to swirl the ripple into the top of the frozen yogurt.

  • Step 6

    Sprinkle with a few more fresh blueberries and set in the freezer to chill for at least 6 hours. Once frozen, slice your bars to your desired shape and enjoy!
