These 3 ingredient frozen blueberry bites are such a refreshing fruity treat. Sweetened with stevia, it's an easy recipe that is low carb, gluten free and vegan. Can be made in any ice cube tray!
Don't you love easy desserts?
I'm always amazed how you can create the most delicious morsels with just a few ingredients.
Like these frozen blueberry bites.
All you need is 3 ingredients and a blender. Friends, you can make this low carb blueberry heaven with your eyes closed!
Let me do a quick ingredient rundown:
- Coconut cream. Comes in a can/tin. There's 2 varieties that work here. Either buy coconut cream OR coconut milk, which is slightly lower in fat. If you get coconut milk (and I'm not talking about the milk in a tetra pak here), keep the can in the fridge, it will separate into a firm top layer and a liquid bottom layer. You want to use the creamy top layer for this recipe.
- Blueberries. I used frozen, because they're cheaper and we always seem have a bag in the freezer. Using fresh blueberries should work equally well though.
- Stevia. 8 drops do the trick - it's the equivalent sweetness to 2 teaspoons of sugar.
I did a poll on my Facebook Page yesterday where I asked my followers about their favourite low carb sweetener. The majority of people named stevia as their go-to - and inspired me to choose vanilla flavoured stevia for this recipe, which has a mellow and pleasant taste. I don't find it metallic-tasting, which is a common complaint about stevia sweeteners.
Normally, I tend to use either powdered or granulated erythritol when making low carb desserts. I like the taste (can be slightly cooling when used in larger amounts) and it's easy to convert recipes with it. Why? Erythritol looks like sugar and behaves (almost) like sugar, so there is no worrying about getting the wet/dry ratio wrong. See? We're circling right back to the EASY theme here 🙂
That said, stevia is a fantastic sweetener. I made this orange almond breakfast cake using stevia, and it's perfect in recipes which are liquid at some point, such as chocolate or sauces, because the sweetness is distributed evenly. It's also easy to travel with, if you like a bit of sweetness in your tea or coffee. No problem bringing one of those little bottles in your hand luggage, folks!
You could use this recipe to make low carb popsicles using popsicle moulds.
I decided to use ice cube trays because not everybody owns popsicle moulds. They're not really essential kitchen equipment unless you have children. I also like to have a little sweet something waiting in the freezer for THOSE moments rather than a bigger dessert, so this size is perfect for me (just like my sugar free cookie dough!!!).
My frozen blueberry bites weighed between 9 and 13 grams. The smaller ones were perfect to pop into my mouth whole, the larger ones were 2 bites each.
If you like the idea of fruity coconut-based desserts (that are really, really EASY!!!!!) you should definitely also check out my strawberry coconut mousse and this creamy and light raspberry coconut fool.

Ingredients
- 1 cup / 220g coconut cream
- 1 cup / 160g blueberries frozen
- 8 drops stevia drops vanilla flavour
Instructions
- Put the coconut cream, blueberries and stevia drops in a bowl or blender and blend until smooth. I used this high speed blender, but a stick blender will do the job too.
- Fill into ice cube trays (silicone trays work best) and freeze until set, around 1 hour.

I’m trying to stay away from sugar, once in a blue moon I will use stevia sugar. Can I just leave out the sugar and if not how much stevia sugar should I use or what to replace it with?
Katrin Nürnberger says
Normally 1 teaspoon of sugar is equivalent to 4-5 drops of stevia, depending on which band you use. I'd simply add it little by little until you arrive at a sweetness you like.

Going to try this recipe with Greek yogurt.
Katrin Nürnberger says
Keep me posted! Would love to hear how you like it.
Jen says
Hi, I don’t have stevia drops but rather powder stevia sweet leaf. Will that work in place of the drops if I add a splash of vanilla extract?
Katrin says
Yes, powdered stevia or erythritol would work as well 🙂
SUSAN KAY GURNEY says
I don't have a blender at all...do you think a food processor with just the chopping blade in it would work and also I have "Stevia" drops but they don't say Vanilla...so should I still use them or use actual Vanilla instead? Thanks!
Katrin says
Hi Susan, if it's the kind of chopping blades you'd also mix dough with, it should work perfectly. And you can use any stevia drops, whether they're flavoured or not. Use them to sweeten, and if you want, add a splash of vanilla extract, too. I think vanilla tastes nice with blueberries. Hope you'll enjoy them!
SUSAN KAY GURNEY says
Thank you so much for the help!!! I can't wait to try them out!!
Melinda says
These taste amazing! My ice cube tray is quite large, so I filled it only half way. That way, the size was perfect
Kylie says
I don't like the taste of coconut. Do you think this would work with dairy?
Katrin says
Hi Kylie, I think a mixture of double/heavy cream and greek yoghurt would work. Or sour cream. This would increase the fat content, but could taste really nice. Worth a try!
Ada Bren says
I do these with heavy cream or cream cheese. My girlfriend comes by and eats them up lol they never last post a couple days in my house with 5 kids, my friend and me lol. My husband loves my almond joy ones too lol. Just try cream cheese
Katrin says
Great idea!
LowCarbLady says
I'm trying this with raspberries. Had to stop myself from eating it all before putting it in the freezer 🙂
Katrin says
Hi there, I know that feeling! When my bowl went in the sink it was already clean 🙂
