Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melted chocolate)
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the blueberries. Ensure no moisture remains, as it can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate and coconut oil (if using) until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly to avoid overheating the berries.
- Add the blueberries to the bowl and gently stir to coat them evenly with chocolate.
- Using a fork or slotted spoon, lift out individual berries or small clusters and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure blueberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Use dark chocolate for a rich flavor or white chocolate for sweetness.
- Chill on parchment or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
- Do not freeze as texture may degrade.
- Great for party trays, homemade gifts, or healthy desserts.
