Let’s Talk About the Ingredients
→ Blueberries: These little gems are the star of the show! Whether you’re using fresh or frozen, they bring a juicy, sweet-tart vibe that pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the PB layer. Plus, they’re loaded with antioxidants—bonus points for being healthy! 🍇
→ Bananas: The unsung hero here, bananas add natural sweetness and make the peanut butter cream extra creamy and smooth. No need for extra sugar when you’ve got these beauties. 🍌
→ Peanut Butter: Oh, peanut butter, how we love you! It’s rich, nutty, and gives this dessert its signature flavor. Just make sure to go for the natural kind for that wholesome vibe. 🥜
→ Soy Yogurt: This is the secret ingredient that ties it all together. Creamy, tangy, and dairy-free, it’s a great base for our PB cream layer. And if you’re not into soy, regular yogurt works too! 🥄
→ Cardamom: A pinch of this warm, fragrant spice takes the flavor up a notch. It’s subtle but adds such a nice depth that makes the whole dish feel fancy. ✨

| Ingredients: Serves 3 |
|---|
| - 4 tbsp blueberry (Frozen) |
| - 1 lemon, juiced |
| - 1 tsp vanilla extract |
| - 3 bananas |
| - 1 tsp ground cardamom |
| - 12 tbsp natural soy yogurt |
| - 6 tbsp peanut butter |
These simple ingredients come together to create a dessert that’s not just delicious but also feels a little special—without the fuss!
Time required: 10 mins
1| Pop those blueberries, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into a small blender or food processor. Give them a quick whizz until they’re all blended and juicy. Pour that goodness into a bowl and set it aside—it’s compote time! 🍇✨
2| Next, toss the bananas, cardamom, yogurt, peanut butter, and a pinch of salt into the same blender (no need to wash it—you’re welcome). Blend it all up until you’ve got a smooth, creamy dream. 🍌🥜
3| Grab three glasses or jars and spoon in your peanut butter cream. Top each one with the blueberry compote and give it a little swirl for that fancy marbled look.
4| Feeling extra? Add some optional toppings like more blueberries, a dollop of peanut butter, nuts, granola, or even popped quinoa. Go wild—it’s your masterpiece! 🎉
Enjoy this layered treat—it’s as fun to make as it is to eat!
Recipe Swaps
1| Blueberries: No blueberries? Swap them out for raspberries, strawberries, or even diced peaches for a fun twist. Any fruit with a bit of tang will work beautifully! 🍓🍑
2| Peanut Butter: Allergic to peanuts or just out of PB? Use almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter instead. Each brings its own unique flavor. 🌰
3| Soy Yogurt: Not into soy? Use Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or any other favorite alternative. Dairy or dairy-free, it’s all good! 🥄
4| Cardamom: Don’t have cardamom on hand? Cinnamon or nutmeg can bring a similar cozy flavor. Or just skip the spice altogether—it’ll still be delicious! 🍂

2| Crunch Factor: Sprinkle on some crushed nuts, granola, or cacao nibs for a satisfying crunch. 🌰
3| Berry Mix-Up: Use a mix of berries for the compote—blueberries, raspberries, blackberries—whatever you’ve got hanging out in the freezer. 🍇🍓
4| Protein Boost: Blend a scoop of your favorite protein powder into the PB cream for a snack that doubles as a post-workout refuel. 💪
5| Layered Parfait: Add a layer of crushed graham crackers or oats between the cream and compote for a parfait-style upgrade. 🥣

Tips for Making the Best Blueberry Compote with PB Cream
1| Blend Smarter: If you’re using frozen blueberries, let them thaw for a few minutes before blending. It’ll make things smoother and easier on your blender. 🍇
2| Go Natural: Opt for natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils. The creamy, pure flavor works best in this recipe. 🥜
3| Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blueberry compote and PB cream as you go. If you like things sweeter, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. 🍯
4| Layer Like a Pro: Use a spoon to carefully add each layer to your jars or glasses for that pretty, Instagram-worthy look. A little swirl with a knife can give it a marbled effect. ✨
5| Chill Out: For an extra refreshing treat, pop the jars in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before serving. This makes the flavors even better! ❄️
6| Topping Magic: Don’t skip the toppings! A sprinkle of granola, nuts, or a dollop of extra PB adds texture and makes each bite more exciting. 🥣
7| Make Ahead: You can prepare the compote and PB cream ahead of time. Just store them separately in the fridge and assemble right before serving. Great for stress-free hosting! 🕒
8| Serving Vessels: Use clear glasses or jars so those beautiful layers can shine. It’s all about the presentation, folks! 😎

4| Topping Bar: Set up a DIY topping station with options like crushed nuts, granola, mini chocolate chips, or fresh berries. Let everyone customize their own! 🎉
5| Kid-Friendly: Use smaller jars or cups and let the kids swirl the layers themselves. It’s fun, messy, and keeps them entertained! 🍌

1| Airtight Containers: Store the blueberry compote and peanut butter cream separately in airtight containers. This keeps them fresh and prevents the flavors from mixing until you're ready to serve. 🥡
2| Mason Jars: For a cute, easy-to-store option, mason jars are perfect! They’re airtight, stackable, and make it easy to grab and go. Plus, they look pretty in the fridge! 🫙
3| Glass Jars or Bowls: If you’ve already assembled the layers, keep them in glass jars or bowls with lids. Just make sure the tops aren’t too tight, as the yogurt layer needs a little breathing room. 🌿
4| Fridge Storage: Both the blueberry compote and the peanut butter cream should be kept in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. 🧊
5| Freezer-Friendly: If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the blueberry compote (but not the peanut butter cream). Freeze the compote in a flat container for easy thawing later. ❄️
6| Meal Prep Containers: If you're making this for meal prep, use single-serving meal prep containers for quick grab-and-go snacks throughout the week. 🍱
7| Cover with Plastic Wrap: If you’re storing in bowls, cover the surface of the cream with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
With these storage tips, you’ll have your Blueberry Compote with PB Cream ready for days of deliciousness!
