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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely to room temperature.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7

Once the crust is cooled, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Gently swirl the cooled blueberry compote into the yogurt layer using a spoon or knife to create a marbled effect.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and freeze the bars for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step 10

When ready to serve, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 11

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.
