You know those days when you just need a quick pick-me-up, something that feels like a treat but doesn’t require a lot of effort?
Well, I had one of those days last week. I was craving something sweet, but with everything going on, I didn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. That’s when I remembered this little gem of a recipe—a mix of my favorite fruits and rich, dark chocolate.
Honestly, it’s the kind of treat that makes you feel like you’re indulging without the guilt, and it’s so easy that you can whip it up in no time. Plus, it’s a fun way to get creative with flavors!
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Fresh raspberries and blueberries
- Banana slices
- Melted Dark Chocolate Gems (made with no refined sugar and simple ingredients)
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
- Freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
How to Make It
- Prep Your Berries and Bananas: Start by arranging your fresh raspberries, blueberries, and banana slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I love this part because it feels like I’m creating a little masterpiece with nature’s candy!
- Drizzle the Chocolate: Next, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the fruit. Make sure to cover them generously—this is where the magic happens! Watching that smooth, rich chocolate cascade over the vibrant berries is so satisfying.
- Add Toppings: For a little extra flair, sprinkle some flaky sea salt and freeze-dried strawberries on top. These are optional, but I highly recommend them if you want that perfect balance of sweet and salty.
- Freeze: Pop the tray in the freezer and wait until the chocolate hardens. This usually takes about 20-30 minutes, but trust me, the wait is worth it.
- Enjoy!: Once everything is set, you can add a bit more flaky sea salt if you like, then dig in! These bites are the perfect mix of fruity sweetness, rich chocolate, and just a hint of saltiness. They’re seriously addictive!
