Ingredients
12 oz fresh raspberries
8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or your preferred variety)
2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for extra shine)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberries: Gently rinse the raspberries and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry before dipping in chocolate.
- Set Up Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to make removal easier later.
- Melt Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) over a double boiler. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Vanilla: Stir in vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the chocolate (optional).
- Dip Raspberries: Hold each raspberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate. Shake off any excess chocolate gently.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the dipped raspberries on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt for an added contrast of flavor.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Serve & Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Frozen Raspberries: Fresh raspberries are recommended, as frozen ones may become mushy when dipped.
Chocolate Variations: Try white chocolate or milk chocolate for a different flavor profile. Add crushed nuts for extra texture.
