How to Make Chocolate Blueberry Clusters
A full and detailed recipe card is at the bottom of this post.
Melt Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt the chocolate over medium heat, stirring occasionally until completely smooth. Once fully melted, remove from heat.
Combine Blueberries: Carefully fold the blueberries into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Form Clusters: Use a teaspoon to scoop a small bundle of chocolate-coated blueberries, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place each cluster on the prepared tray, keeping the blueberries grouped together.
Refrigerate: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill until the chocolate sets and hardens, approximately 1-2 hours.
Optional Salt Sprinkle: For an extra flavor dimension, lightly sprinkle the clusters with salt, or leave them as is for a simpler taste.
Expert Tips
- Choose Quality Chocolate: For the best flavor and texture, opt for high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Best To Use Fresh Blueberries: These chocolate blueberry clusters work best when using fresh blueberries. If you use frozen blueberries, when you add them to the melted chocolate, the water condensation on the frozen blueberries will seize and ruin the chocolate.
- Setting Time: Allow sufficient time for the clusters to set in the refrigerator, at least 1-2 hours, to ensure they harden properly.
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but ensure they are thawed and completely dry to avoid water mixing into the chocolate.
Can I substitute the dark chocolate?
Absolutely, white or milk chocolate can also be used for different flavor profiles.
