Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Frozen Raspberries?

Don’t have fresh raspberries? You could make do with frozen raspberries too- just remember to get them out of the freezer for a while and allow them to thaw before you pat them dry with kitchen towels and then use them.

Can I Skip the Coconut Oil?

Coconut oil is actually an essential ingredient, even though it might not seem like it. It is what helps the consistency of the melted chocolate stay just right enough for you to coat the raspberries in. Without the coconut oil, you won’t get that crunchy shell coating on your berries.
If you’re concerned about the smell coconut oil will impart to the melted chocolate, you can opt for refined coconut oil (which doesn’t leave any smell) or even opt for unsalted melted butter.

Can I Make These Healthier?

If you use dark chocolate, these are already an excellent healthy sweet treat you can munch on when you’re hit by a hunger pang. However, if you really want to make them extra healthy, you can dip them in some thick Greek yogurt or vanilla-flavored yogurt, let them freeze for a few minutes, and then dip them again in some melted chocolate.

How Do I Store the Chocolate-Dipped Raspberries?

Your chocolate-dipped raspberries taste best when they are frozen- the juiciness of the raspberries and the crunchy shell of the chocolate go perfectly well together. You can refrigerate them too, but they won’t last longer than a day or two, and there’s always a risk of the fruit getting all mushy.
Freeze your raspberries individually in the tray and then pile them into a Ziploc bag or an airtight container before you pop them back into the freezer. They can last in the freezer for up to a month.

What Else Can I Top the Raspberries With?

You can stick to the white chocolate drizzle as a topping for your chocolate-coated raspberries, but if you really want to go the extra mile and try out some other fun toppings, you could totally do that too. Chopped nuts like walnuts, pistachios, and peanuts are great because they lend a nice texture as well.
You can also throw some desiccated coconut on the chocolate coating while it still hasn’t solidified yet.

Tips to Make the Chocolate-Dipped Raspberries

Ready to give this easy and exciting recipe a try? Keep these little tips and tricks in mind before you jump right into it.

Got some other fruits apart from raspberries? You could replicate the same process with them as well. Peaches, strawberries, kiwi, bananas, and apples are all excellent choices. This can actually be a great way to serve fruit to kids and toddlers.
Finding it tricky to dip the raspberries in the melted chocolate without getting your hands dirty? Insert a toothpick halfway into each of the raspberries- easy peasy!
Regardless of which fruit you’re using, remember that the fruits need to be completely dry before you dip them into the melted chocolate, or they won’t be coated properly.
If you’re melting your chocolate in a microwave, pause and mix at every 30-second burst. This will keep your chocolate from burning and you’ll get that smooth consistency you’re looking for.
Also, be careful not to get any moisture into the chocolate while you’re melting it- whether you’re doing it in the microwave or in a double boiler. Even a single droplet of water can cause the melted chocolate to become grainy or lumpy.
This recipe calls for the raspberries to be dunked entirely in the melted chocolate, but if you prefer the juiciness of the berries more, you can dip just half of the berries in the chocolate.
Before you start with this recipe, remember to leave a little space in your freezer for you to pop the tray in.
