Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- A pinch of sea salt
- Stevia optional, for additional sweetness
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blueberries and pat them dry completely. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking well.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the blueberries out, making sure they don't overlap. Freeze them for about 1 hour until they are firm.
- After the blueberries are almost done freezing, start to prepare the chocolate coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the vegan dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
- Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Make sure to stir well each time as chocolate can hold its shape even when melted and can easily be overheated.
- If you want a little extra sweetness, add stevia to taste to the melted chocolate and stir until well combined.
- Remove the blueberries from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each blueberry into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chocolate covered blueberries on the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of the blueberries while the chocolate is still wet.
- Once all the blueberries are coated, place the tray back into the freezer for at least another hour, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
- Enjoy these low-carb vegan chocolate covered blueberries straight from the freezer to maintain their crisp chocolate shell.
