Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Chocolate Coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Toppings (Optional)
- Sea salt
- Crushed nuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberries: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse the raspberries gently and thoroughly pat them completely dry using a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place the raspberries on a tray and freeze for 15 to 20 minutes to chill thoroughly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt the mixture over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Raspberries: Remove the chilled raspberries from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, carefully dip each raspberry halfway or fully into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Arrange and Add Toppings: Place each dipped raspberry on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or crushed nuts over the chocolate coating to add texture and flavor.
- Freeze to Set: Return the baking sheet to the freezer and allow the chocolate to firm up for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy these chocolate frozen raspberries straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack or let them sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute dark chocolate with white or milk chocolate, or create a variety by mixing different types.
- Store any leftover chocolate frozen raspberries in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and chocolate texture.
