FAQ

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of freeze-dried?

Yes, but fresh berries will add moisture and may make the filling less firm. Use the same amount and pat dry first.

What if I don't have protein powder?

You can omit it, but the texture will be softer. Add an extra tablespoon of cream cheese to help maintain structure.

How long do these keep frozen?

Store in airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw 10 minutes before serving for best texture.
