Ingredients

Only a few simple ingredients are required to make this easy chocolate covered blueberries recipe. But we've included a pretty garnish that you might enjoy.

Chocolate square, blueberries, oil, and sliced almonds on a butcher block cutting board.

Blueberries - Firm, plump blueberries work best for a smooth chocolate coating! Wash and thoroughly dry the berries before using them so the chocolate will readily adhere.
Dark Chocolate Chips - To keep this dessert low in sugar, look for at least 70% cocoa. However, any type of chocolate, including milk chocolate, will work in this recipe. For a keto-friendly version, use stevia-sweetened or sugar-free chocolate chips. White chocolate can also be used.
Coconut Oil, avocado oil, or other cooking oil is optional. Chocolate with a very high cocoa content will be creamier if you add some. It will also be easier to spoon.

Topping to make these chocolate blueberry clusters simply the best:

Almonds - Pulse about ¼ cup of almonds in a mini food chopper until you have a fine powdery dust. Keep the unused portion in the refrigerator for another batch or another use, like sprinkling on yogurt chia pudding or oatmeal.

Please refer to the recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and detailed instructions.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Prepare these chocolate blueberry clusters before dinner, pop them in the refrigerator, and you'll have a sweet ending to dinner!

Chopped chocolate and oil in a glass bowl.

Step 1: Place chopped chocolate and oil, if using, in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave until it's smooth and spoonable. Use 30-second intervals, stirring every time. It usually takes less than 90 seconds. I generally opt for this method over the double-boiler method, which is another option.

Step 2: Add blueberries to the warm chocolate and gently stir until they are completely coated with chocolate. Add the berries all at once or in batches if desired.

Step 3: Lift out 4-6 chocolate dipped blueberries with a slotted spoon and drop them in small clumps on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This recipe makes about 16 clusters. You may end up with less! The yield depends entirely on the size of the blueberries and how thickly they are coated with chocolate. If you have extra chocolate, drizzle it over the top!

Step 4: Optional Step. Dust the top of the chocolate coating with finely chopped almonds and place them in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes. Of course, skip this step for a nut-free dessert.

Alternative preparation: For single berries, use a toothpick to dip each berry in chocolate! It's a little more time-consuming, but these are fantastic over ice cream or yogurt.

FAQ

How do you store chocolate covered blueberries?

Store chocolate-covered blueberries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, depending on the freshness of the berries. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

No. Frozen blueberries aren’t ideal for this recipe. They release excess moisture and have a softer texture, which makes it harder for the chocolate coating to set properly. Fresh, firm blueberries work best.

Can you freeze chocolate covered blueberries?

Yes. Chocolate covered blueberries freeze well. Arrange clusters or individual berries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, freeze for 1 hour until solid, then store in a freezer-safe bag or container. Let thaw for about 5 minutes before eating.
