Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup coconut cream (ensure it's chilled)

1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (or substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free version)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Blueberry Layer: In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Cook the mixture for approximately 5 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries soften and start to break down. Once done, remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

    Blend the Coconut Cream Mixture: In a blender or food processor, add the chilled coconut cream, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Make the Base: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour) with a tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Mix well until the crumbs are fully coated in oil. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) dish to create a solid base.

        Layer the Ingredients: Pour the creamy coconut mixture evenly over the graham cracker base, smoothing it out using a spatula. Next, gently spoon the blueberry mixture on top of the coconut layer. Use a knife to swirl the blueberry mixture into the coconut layer, creating a beautiful marbled effect without fully mixing them together.

          Garnish with Coconut: Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut atop the blueberry layer, ensuring every slice will have a touch of coconut.

            Freeze the Bars: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent ice crystals from forming, and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until the bars are fully set and solid.

              Slice and Serve: Once frozen, take the dish out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 bars. Store any leftover bars in an airtight container back in the freezer for future enjoyment.

                  - Presentation Tips: For an attractive serving, arrange the bars on a clean platter. You can garnish with a few fresh blueberries and mint leaves for a splash of color.
