Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups frozen blueberries, thawed

1 cup coconut cream (chilled)

½ cup Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt alternative)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cornstarch (optional, use for a thicker texture)

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the thawed blueberries until they are slightly chunky. If you’d like, reserve a few whole blueberries for garnish later.

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

      Combine Layers: Carefully fold the mashed blueberry mixture into the coconut cream base. Do this gently to achieve a marbled effect—make sure to maintain visible streaks of blueberries for an appealing presentation.

        Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the edges to facilitate easy removal after freezing.

          Pour Into Pan: Transfer the blueberry-coconut mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the surface.

            Top with Coconut: Sprinkle the unsweetened shredded coconut generously over the top, pressing down gently to help it adhere to the mixture.

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

                Cut and Serve: Once frozen, carefully lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles as desired. Serve right away, or return any leftovers to an airtight container in the freezer.

                  Garnish if Desired: Before serving, consider topping each bar with a few whole blueberries or a light sprinkle of extra shredded coconut for an enhanced visual appeal.
