Ingredients For These Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries
This delicious and easy recipe requires only 3 super easy ingredients to find in almost any grocery store. Here is what you’ll need:
Chopped Chocolate: Instead of traditional chocolate chips, I’ve opted for finely chopped chocolate bars. This is a fantastic choice, especially when using high-quality dark chocolate. Whether you choose bittersweet, unsweetened (for a keto-friendly option), or even milk chocolate, make sure the chocolate is chopped uniformly for even melting. If you’re following a keto diet, look for specialty keto chocolate bars, similar to Lily’s chocolate chips, which offer a lower net carb content. Chopping the chocolate also allows you to customize the size of the chocolate pieces, ensuring a smoother melt and a more even coating on your blueberries.
Blueberries: The key to perfect chocolate-covered blueberries is to start with fresh, firm, and ripe blueberries. Look for berries that are plump and have a vibrant color, but avoid any that have bruises or are overly soft. Before using them, gently pat the blueberries dry with a paper towel. This step is crucial as it ensures the chocolate adheres smoothly to the surface of the berries.
Coconut Oil: This ingredient is a game-changer. Coconut oil not only imparts a subtle, tropical aroma that complements the chocolate but also contributes to a smooth, silky texture that coats the blueberries beautifully. If you prefer a different flavor or have dietary restrictions, you can substitute coconut oil with other neutral-tasting oils like avocado oil. Alternatively, for a hint of nuttiness, try using refined almond oil.
How To Make These Chocolate-Covered Blueberries
This delicious, sweet, and festive treat is super easy to make without any cooking skills. Here is everything you need to do:
Melt the Chocolate:
Combine the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) and melted coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Prepare the Blueberries:
Gently wash the blueberries under cold running water.
Carefully pat them dry with a paper towel, ensuring they are thoroughly dry. This step is crucial as water can cause the chocolate not to stick to the blueberries.
Coat the Blueberries:
Add the blueberries to the bowl of melted chocolate.
Gently stir until each blueberry is evenly coated with chocolate. Take care not to crush the blueberries.
Create Blueberry Clusters:
Line a pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Using a spoon, scoop small clusters of the chocolate-coated blueberries onto the parchment paper. You can make them as big or as small as you like.
Garnish:
If desired, sprinkle unsweetened coconut flakes over the clusters for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Chill and Set:
Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened and set.
Enjoy:
Remove from the fridge and serve these delightful chocolate-covered blueberry clusters. They’re perfect as a sweet snack, a unique dessert, or a thoughtful homemade gift.
Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Covered Blueberries
Choose Fresh, Firm Blueberries – Use fresh, plump blueberries that are firm to the touch for the juiciest texture and best bite. Soft or overripe berries can become mushy and won’t hold up well when coated.
Dry the Blueberries Completely – After washing your blueberries, pat them completely dry with paper towels. Even a little moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly and may cause it to seize.
Use High-Quality Chocolate – For rich flavor and a smooth coating, choose high-quality dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips. Look for options with at least 70% cocoa or keto-friendly brands like ChocZero or Lily’s.
Melt Chocolate Gently – Use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals (20–30 seconds) to melt your chocolate slowly. Stir between each interval to avoid burning and ensure a silky texture.
Add a Bit of Coconut Oil – Mix in a small amount of refined coconut oil when melting the chocolate—it helps create a thinner, glossier coating that sets beautifully and adds a touch of healthy fat.
Use a Fork or Toothpick to Dip – To keep your coating smooth and even, dip each blueberry using a fork or toothpick, letting the excess chocolate drip off before placing it on the tray.
Line Your Tray with Parchment Paper – Always use parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. It also helps the chocolate set evenly.
Chill to Set – Place your dipped blueberries in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to help the chocolate harden quickly and stay firm.
Serve Cold or Room Temp – For the best texture, serve chocolate-covered blueberries chilled straight from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
Recipe Variations for Chocolate Covered Blueberries
Looking to switch things up or get creative with this easy chocolate-covered blueberries recipe? Here are some fun and delicious variations to try:
Swap the Fruit – While blueberries are a classic choice, you can easily substitute them with other low-carb berries like strawberries, raspberries, or even cranberries. Just make sure the fruit is firm and not overly juicy, which helps the chocolate stick better and avoids a soggy texture.
White Chocolate Drizzle – Elevate the presentation by drizzling melted sugar-free white chocolate over your dark chocolate-covered blueberries. This adds contrast and a gourmet feel—perfect for parties, holidays, or special occasions.
Use Different Types of Chocolate – Experiment with milk chocolate, white chocolate, or flavored dark chocolate (like orange or mint). Just be sure to use keto-friendly or low-sugar chocolate if you’re sticking to a low-carb lifestyle.
Add Crunch with Toppings – Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the dipped blueberries with crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or freeze-dried fruitfor added texture and flavor.
Add a Flavor Twist – Stir a drop of vanilla, almond, or orange extract into your melted chocolate for a subtle boost of flavor that pairs beautifully with the berries.
Make Clusters – Instead of dipping each blueberry individually, mix the blueberries into the melted chocolate and spoon them onto parchment in small clusters for a fun, snackable twist.
How to Store Chocolate-Covered Blueberries
Proper storage is key to keeping your chocolate blueberries fresh, delicious, and ready to enjoy anytime.
Fridge: After the chocolate has fully set, transfer the chocolate-covered blueberries into an airtight container. Layer them with parchment paper if stacking to prevent sticking. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This keeps them cool, firm, and snack-ready whenever a craving hits.
Freezer: Yes, these treats freeze beautifully! Place the chocolate-covered blueberries in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until solid. Then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. You can enjoy them frozen for up to 3 months—they make a refreshing, cool snack straight from the freezer.
Chef’s Tips for the Best Chocolate-Covered Blueberries
Go Dark for More Flavor: For a bold and rich taste, opt for high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content. It pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of blueberries.
Make It Vegan-Friendly: To keep this recipe vegan and dairy-free, simply use dairy-free chocolate chips or vegan chocolate bars that melt smoothly.
Serve Fresh for Best Texture: These chocolate-covered blueberries are best enjoyed within the first few days for optimal crunch and freshness. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Don’t Skip the Drying Step: Make sure your blueberries are completely dry before dipping them in chocolate. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize or slide off.
Chill for Perfect Set: After dipping, let the blueberries chill on a parchment-lined tray in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes. This helps the chocolate harden quickly and evenly.
Can I Use Frozen Blueberries For This Recipe?
I don’t recommend using frozen blueberries since they get too soft once thawed and have too much moisture, which will prevent the chocolate from sticking to them.
Can I Use Dried Blueberries?
Using dried blueberries for chocolate-covered blueberries is an excellent alternative to fresh ones. Dried blueberries will not have the moisture issues associated with fresh or frozen blueberries, making them easier to coat with chocolate.
Their chewy texture and concentrated flavor can add a unique twist to the treat. Simply follow the same melting and coating process with your chocolate and coconut oil, then roll the dried blueberries into the mixture.
These chocolate covered blueberries are a delicious, healthy treat that comes together in just 10 minutes. Made with only three ingredients—fresh blueberries, rich melted chocolate, and a touch of coconut oil—this simple recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a quick low-effort dessert or nutritious snack.
Add the chocolate chips and melted coconut oil to a bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals until completely melted.
Wash the blueberries under cold water, then pat dry to remove any excess water.
Place the blueberries in the melted chocolate mixture, then stir everything.
Drop little clusters of blueberries onto a pan lined with parchment paper using a spoon.
Continue the process with the remaining blueberries and garnish with unsweetened coconut flakes.
Place the pan in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden.
Remove from the fridge and enjoy.
