Instructions
- Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries with 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries burst and the mixture thickens to a compote consistency. Remove from heat and cool completely.

- Step 3: Pour half of the yogurt mixture into a 9x5-inch loaf pan, spoon half of the cooled blueberry compote over it, then swirl gently using a knife.
- Step 4: Repeat layering with remaining yogurt and blueberry compote, swirling again for a marbled effect.
- Step 5: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Step 6: Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping and serving for best texture.
