👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the blueberry compote
- In a small saucepan, add blueberries, sugar (or honey), and water.
- Cook over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- As the blueberries heat, they will burst and create a thick sauce.
- Add lemon juice if using, then remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Tip: If you’re short on time, you can skip cooking and use fresh mashed blueberries or store-bought blueberry jam.
Step 2: Make the Weetabix base
- Place the Weetabix biscuits in a jar or container.
- Crush them gently using a spoon or your hands.
- Pour the milk over the crushed biscuits.
- Mix lightly until the biscuits absorb the milk and form a soft base.
Step 3: Prepare the yogurt layer
- In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract.
- Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 4: Assemble the layers
- Spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the soaked Weetabix base.
- Spoon the cooled blueberry compote on top of the yogurt layer.
- Smooth it out gently for an even layer.
Step 5: Chill overnight
- Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
- This allows the flavors to blend and the texture to set perfectly.
Step 6: Add toppings and serve
- In the morning, remove from the fridge.
- Add your favorite toppings like granola, nuts, or fresh berries.
- Enjoy chilled straight from the jar!
