Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (hulled and halved)
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Sea salt flakes (optional)
Others
- Mini cupcake liners or silicone molds
Instructions
- Prepare molds: Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners or set silicone molds on a tray to catch any spills and make removal easier.
- Melt chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt the mixture using a microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or melt over a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
- Layer chocolate: Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each liner or mold, creating a base layer.
- Add berries: Place a few pieces of strawberries and blueberries on top of the chocolate base in each liner, pressing gently to embed them slightly into the chocolate.
- Cover berries: Spoon another teaspoon of melted chocolate over the berries to completely cover them, ensuring they are sealed inside.
- Set chocolate: Lightly tap the tray to smooth out the tops and help release any air bubbles trapped in the chocolate layers.
- Chill: Refrigerate the tray for 30 to 45 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Finish and store: Once set, carefully remove the bites from the liners or molds. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute or mix in raspberries or blackberries for variety and extra berry flavor.
- For a sweeter version, use semi-sweet or milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
- Use vegan chocolate to make this treat dairy-free and suitable for vegan diets.
