Main Ingredients

120 grams raspberries (approximately 4.2 ounces)
100 grams white chocolate (approximately 3.5 ounces)
100 grams milk or dark chocolate (approximately 3.5 ounces)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Raspberries

Start by rinsing the raspberries gently under cool water. Ensure they are completely dry before moving on to the next step. If they are wet, the chocolate will not adhere properly later on.

Once dry, carefully make a small hole in the top of each raspberry to facilitate chocolate filling. It’s best to use a toothpick for dipping but remember to remove it after.

Step 2

Melt the White Chocolate

Take about 30 grams of white chocolate and melt it using your preferred method. You can use a fondue pot for convenience, or melt it in the microwave using short intervals to avoid burning. Alternatively, you can melt it over a double boiler on the stove.

Once melted, fill the center of each raspberry with the white chocolate. Allow them to cool down and set for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3

Dip the Raspberries

After the white chocolate has set, melt the remaining white chocolate. Dip each raspberry carefully using a fork for easier handling. Make sure each raspberry is well coated.

Place the dipped raspberries on a plate lined with parchment paper, then place them in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes to harden.

Step 4

Final Chocolate Coating

Now, melt the milk or dark chocolate in the same manner as before. Working quickly, dip each frozen raspberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Once coated, return the raspberries to the parchment-lined plate. They can be enjoyed right away or stored in the freezer to enjoy later as a refreshing treat.

Servings

These chocolate-covered raspberries are as versatile as they are delightful! Serve them on a chic platter at your next gathering, or keep them all to yourself for a cozy movie night. Either way, they are sure to steal the spotlight! 🌟

For a touch of elegance, drizzle some melted chocolate on top before serving. This not only enhances the presentation but adds another layer of deliciousness! You can also create a fruit skewers appetizer, alternating between chocolate-covered raspberries and strawberries for a pop of color and flavor! 🍓

Feeling adventurous? Pair them with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You'll be in dessert heaven! 😍

Faq

  • What if my chocolate is too thick to dip?

    If your chocolate is too thick, try adding a small amount of vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin it out. This will make it easier to coat your raspberries!

  • Can I use frozen raspberries?

    While fresh raspberries yield the best results, if you're in a pinch, you can use frozen raspberries. Just remember to let them thaw a bit so they don’t break when dipped!

  • Why does my chocolate keep seizing up?

    This can happen if any water gets into the chocolate while melting. Make sure your utensils are completely dry and avoid using wet spatulas or spoons!

  • Can I add toppings to my chocolate-covered raspberries?

    Absolutely! Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle on some crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles for an extra touch of flair!

  • What’s the best way to store leftover chocolate-covered raspberries?

    Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you freeze them, just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking!

  • How can I make my chocolate shine?

    To achieve that beautiful shine, make sure your chocolate is tempered properly. This technique ensures your chocolate has a lovely gloss and snap when bitten into!
