Knowledgeable Tip
You will need to not overheat chocolate as a result of this will make it seize, separate and curdle.
There are 2 methods to soften chocolate safely – within the microwave and in a bain-marie (water tub).
Water tub technique: Place a small bowl with the chocolate items and coconut oil into a bigger bowl or saucepan that you’ve crammed with boiling water. The water heats the chocolate from the skin and causes it to soften slowly.
Microwave technique: Microwave the chocolate and the oil in 30 second intervals. Take away the bowl as quickly because the chocolate is half-melted. Stirring it’s going to trigger the remainder of the chocolate to soften slowly.
Variations
Change the flavour. I already talked about that you need to use any chocolate. I’ve recipes for home made sugar free white chocolate and keto milk chocolate should you really feel as keen about wholesome desserts as I do.
A teaspoon of vanilla extract or freshly grated orange zest are pretty additions. Ever since I made this chocolate orange cake, I’m a HUGE fan of the orange and chocolate mixture.

Chocolate blueberry bark. Nice in case you are quick on time! Unfold the whole combination onto parchment paper. As soon as it has set within the fridge, break it into bite-sized items. This manner, the blueberries keep intact. Do not use a knife otherwise you’ll lower by the blueberries.
Blueberry chocolate toothpicks. It is a enjoyable solution to serve this dish with out getting any chocolate on individuals’s palms. Line 3-4 blueberries onto a toothpick, then dip it into the bowl with the melted chocolate.
Recipe FAQs
I’ve not but tried the recipe with frozen berries. They’re softer than recent berries after defrosting, which I feel wouldn’t style nice. Additionally, pre-packaged frozen berries are sometimes coated with a lot of ice crystals, which might trigger the chocolate to grab. Melted chocolate and water will not be an excellent match.
In fact. You may make chocolate clusters with raspberries or with chopped strawberries. Subsequent time, I wish to attempt chocolate lined blackberries. Since these are bigger, I will use just one blackberry as an alternative of constructing clusters or 2 or extra.
Sprinkle the clusters with chopped nuts, hemp seeds or shredded coconut (additionally referred to as desiccated coconut). Or, mud them with freeze-dried raspberries for a beautiful shade pop.

I like a small candy after dinner and I can inform you that chocolate blueberries all the time hit the spot. The truth is, I like this recipe a lot that I lately served it for dessert at a cocktail party. My visitors remarked how good it was to get a chocolate hit with out feeling overly full afterwards.
I also can affirm that these style nice with a cup of espresso within the afternoon.
Storage
Fridge: Retailer chocolate lined blueberries in an hermetic container within the fridge for as much as one week. This manner, the chocolate retains a pleasant snap.
Freezer: I do not suggest freezing the chocolate berries, except you propose to eat them frozen (which might be a scrumptious snack for decent days!). On this case, maintain the clusters small so you possibly can pop one into the mouth entire. Freeze for as much as 3 months.
