→ Toppings if You Want
09 -
Extra blueberries
10 -
Some mint leaves
11 -
A few chia seeds sprinkled on top
# Instructions:
01 -
Mix your graham cracker bits with the melted coconut oil or butter and your chosen sweetener in a bowl. Stir until everything looks wet. Push this mix into your pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so it gets firm.
02 -
Put your blueberries and sweetener in a pot over medium heat. Let them cook till they get soft and juicy, around 5-7 minutes. Squash some berries with a fork but leave others whole for a nice texture. Turn off the heat and mix in your chia seeds. Let everything cool down completely - it'll get thicker as it sits.
03 -
Take a big bowl and gently stir your cooled berry-chia stuff into the yogurt. Then carefully fold in your whipped cream until you've got a fluffy, smooth mixture.
04 -
Take your hardened crust from the fridge and pour in your bluish mixture. Smooth the top with a spoon and put it back in the fridge for at least 4 hours until it's set.
05 -
Just before you're ready to eat, throw some fresh blueberries on top with a few mint leaves and a sprinkle of chia seeds to make it look fancy. Cut it up and dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
You don't need to turn on your oven for this cool treat - perfect when it's hot outside.
02 -
You'll need to wait 4 hours for it to get firm, but you can make it a whole day ahead if that works better.
