Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by layering it with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth chocolate coating by melting chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 20-second intervals and stirring between each interval until fully liquefied.
- Carefully immerse each blueberry into the molten chocolate mixture, using a fork or specialized dipping tool to ensure complete and even coverage.
- Gently transfer the chocolate-enrobed blueberries onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing slight spacing between each berry.
- Continue the dipping process until all blueberries are thoroughly coated in rich, glossy chocolate.
- Chill the tray in the refrigerator for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chocolate sets and becomes firm to the touch.
- For optimal freshness, serve the chocolate-dipped blueberries immediately or preserve them in a sealed container within the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 days.
Notes
- Choose high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for a rich, intense flavor and potential antioxidant benefits.
- Pat blueberries completely dry before dipping to prevent water from causing chocolate to seize or become grainy.
- Use room temperature blueberries to help chocolate adhere smoothly and prevent condensation during chilling.
- Experiment with optional toppings like chopped nuts, sea salt, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor complexity.
