Blueberry Yogurt Bars Food

BLUEBERRY PIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
• For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
• For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
• Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
• Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

BLUEBERRY & YOGURT BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Crumble graham crackers and Rice Krispies in a food chopper or food processor and whisk around until you have fine crumbs.
• Mix the graham mix and the remaining bottom layer ingredients together to form soft dough. I do this with a wooden spoon or bare hands. There is no need to get out a mixer for this.
• Firmly press the dough into a 9X13 pan. Completely cover the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Do not use a larger pan. You can use a smaller baking pan for a thicker bar.
• Mix all the top layer ingredients together, except the blueberries, mixing well. A wire whisk works well. Again, don't bother to get a mixer out.
• Gently mix in the blueberries.
• Pour the top layer mixture in the pan over the bottom layer. Make sure the blueberries are spread out evenly.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes.
• Chill completely before cutting and serving. Although it is difficult to wait so long, chilling overnight will give the custard plenty of time to set.

BLUEBERRY FROZEN YOGURT

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup of the blueberries, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon honey and the thyme sprigs in a small heavy saucepan. Coarsely mash the blueberries using a fork or a potato masher. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let the mixture stand for 15 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the syrup cool slightly. Discard the thyme sprigs.
• Place the remaining blueberries, remaining 1/3 cup honey, yogurt, agave, lemon juice and cooled blueberry syrup in a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is almost smooth.
• Transfer the yogurt mixture to a shallow glass baking dish, cover and freeze until slushy, about 2 hours. Using a fork, stir to blend. Continue to freeze until firm, at least 8 hours or overnight. Using the tines of a fork, scrape the mixture into small serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately.
