This dark chocolate-covered blueberries recipe is an easy way to enjoy fresh blueberries. Enjoy as a healthy treat and for a moment of pure indulgence.

Is there anything better than chocolate-dipped fruit?

Chocolate-coated clementines turn Flourless Orange Chocolate Cake into a showstopper dessert. And frozen chocolate-covered raspberries are exquisite!

In this homemade recipe, juicy blueberries are clustered and coated with dark chocolate, then topped with finely chopped almonds. Each bite bursts with flavor and is pretty healthy and low-carb as far as treats go...if you don't eat too many!

They're a perfect dessert for date night! Of course, it's easy to double or triple the recipe for a larger crowd.

Pairing dark chocolate with fruit is a keto-friendly dessert, too. The sugar content is lower than other types of chocolate, and it only takes a few small squares for a treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth!

The only downside to this recipe is that you have to wait about 30 minutes while the blueberry chocolate clusters set in the refrigerator. It's hard. But it's totally worth it.

Ingredients

Only 2 simple ingredients are required to make this easy recipe for chocolate covered blueberries. But we've included a pretty garnish that you might enjoy.

• Blueberries - Fresh ripe blueberries work best in this recipe! Wash and thoroughly dry the berries before using them so the chocolate will easily adhere.
• Dark Chocolate Chips - Look for at least 70% cocoa powder to keep this dessert low in sugar. However, any type of chocolate, including milk chocolate, will work in this recipe. Use stevia-sweetened or sugar-free chocolate chips for a keto-friendly version. White chocolate can also be used.
• Coconut Oil, avocado oil, or other cooking oil may or may not be necessary. 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 powdery dust. Keep the unused portion in the refrigerator for another batch or for another use, like sprinkling on yogurt or oatmeal.

Please see the recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list of ingredients with measurements plus recipe instructions.

Directions

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

Here's how to make this dark chocolate-covered blueberries recipe:

1. Place chocolate in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave until it's spoonable. Use 30-second intervals, stirring every time. It usually takes about 90 seconds. I generally opt for this method over the double boiler method, which is another option.
   • If using oil, add about ½ teaspoon before you start the heating process.
   • If using a chocolate bar, break it into small pieces.
2. Add blueberries to the warm chocolate and gently stir until they are completely coated with chocolate.
3. Lift out 4-5 blueberries with a spoon and drop them in small clumps on wax or parchment paper. This recipe makes about 6-7 clusters. You may end up with less! The yield depends entirely on the size of the blueberries and how thick the blueberries are coated with chocolate. If you have extra chocolate, drizzle it over the top.
4. Dust the top of the chocolate coating with finely chopped almonds and place them in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.

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.

Storage

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.

How to Freeze Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Chocolate-covered blueberry clusters or individual berries can be frozen.

1. Place the berries on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Put the baking sheet in the freezer and allow the berries to set for about an hour.
3. Once the berries have hardened, they can be transferred to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. When you are ready to enjoy one, lift it out of the freezer and let it defrost for about 5 minutes before enjoying it.
