Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups frozen blueberries, thawed

1 cup coconut cream (chilled)

½ cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: In a medium bowl, mash the thawed blueberries with a fork until the mixture is slightly chunky. You can set aside a few whole blueberries for garnish if desired.

    Mix the Cream Base: In a separate large bowl, combine the chilled coconut cream, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, vanilla extract, cornstarch (if using), and sea salt. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Layers: Gradually fold the blueberry mixture into the coconut cream mixture until you achieve a marbled effect, being careful not to completely blend the blueberries in. This will give your bars a beautiful swirled appearance.

        Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

          Pour Into Pan: Pour the blueberry-coconut mixture into the prepared dish. Spread it out evenly with a spatula.

            Top with Coconut: Evenly sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut over the top of the mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks.

              Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Allow the bars to freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

                Cut and Serve: Once frozen, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut them into squares or rectangles. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container back in the freezer.

                  Garnish if Desired: Optionally, top with a few whole blueberries or a sprinkle of extra shredded coconut before serving for a lovely presentation.
