Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (or dark chocolate chips or melts)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blueberries under cool water and dry them completely with paper towels. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- Combine dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. (A double boiler also works.)
- Drop a spoonful of blueberries into the melted chocolate. Gently stir to coat. Lift them out with a fork, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated blueberries in small clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm. Serve straight from the fridge and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the blueberries are completely dry before dipping. Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize and slide off.
- Quality chocolate matters. Use a good dark chocolate bar or high-quality chips for the smoothest coating and best flavor.
- If your kitchen is warm, you can chill the blueberries between dips to help the chocolate set faster.
- These are best enjoyed fresh within 1-2 days since blueberries can release moisture over time.
