Instructions
Step 1
Start by rinsing the raspberries gently under cold water.
Ensure you dry them carefully with a paper towel to avoid any excess moisture.
Step 2
In a bowl, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave.
Add in coconut oil to achieve a smoother consistency, mixing well until fully melted.
Step 3
Transfer the melted white chocolate into a piping bag.
Carefully fill each raspberry center with the melted white chocolate.
Place the filled raspberries on a plate and put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, melt the milk chocolate in the same manner as the white chocolate, adding a bit more coconut oil for a fluid texture.
Step 5
Once the rinsed raspberries have set for 5 minutes, take them out of the freezer.
Now, dip each raspberry into the melted milk chocolate until fully coated.
Step 6
Return the chocolate-covered raspberries back to the freezer.
Let them set for an additional 5 minutes.

Faq
- Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?
While fresh raspberries are recommended for the best texture, you can use frozen ones if needed. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before coating!
- How do I prevent the chocolate from seizing?
Make sure no water gets into your chocolate while melting it, as moisture can cause it to seize. If you're using a microwave, use a dry bowl and dry utensils.
- What if my chocolate is too thick to dip the raspberries?
If the chocolate is too thick, gently reheat it and add a teaspoon more coconut oil until you achieve the desired consistency.
- How can I keep my chocolate-covered raspberries from sticking together?
After dipping, place them on a lined plate with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking and allow for easy removal.
- Is there a way to make them more festive for special occasions?
Certainly! You can sprinkle some edible glitter or crushed nuts on top before they cool completely for a fun festive look. Perfect for celebrations!
- How long can I store these chocolate-covered raspberries?
They can last up to a week in the refrigerator in an airtight container. However, they are best enjoyed fresh!
