Ingredients

• 1/2 cup light cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or sugar-free substitute)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
• 3/4 cup crushed light graham crackers or oat flour
• Optional: a pinch of lemon zest for extra brightness

Instructions

1. Make the Cream Base
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. If using lemon zest, stir it in here for a citrusy kick.

2. Fold in Blueberries
Gently fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to smash them.

3. Shape the Nuggets
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and gently roll into a ball or nugget shape. Coat each one in crushed graham crackers or oat flour for texture.

4. Chill
Place the nuggets on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

5. Serve
Enjoy chilled straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips for Success

• Use Fresh Blueberries: They hold their shape best—if using frozen, make sure they’re fully thawed and blotted dry.
• Customize the Coating: Try rolling in finely crushed almonds, unsweetened coconut, or cinnamon-oat mix for variety.
• Chill Well: Refrigerating helps the nuggets firm up and makes them easy to grab on the go.
• Sweetness Adjustments: Taste before forming and adjust the sweetness to your liking using your preferred sugar substitute.
