Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Chocolate Covered Raspberries Healthy?

They contain berries and yogurt, so you might be tempted to believe that this is a healthy snack. And it is true. If you use Greek yogurt or home-set unsweetened yogurt, fresh berries, and dark chocolate, you’re pretty much having a super healthy dessert or snack. The berries are a powerhouse of antioxidants and vitamins, and also lend your body a decent dose of fiber. The yogurt is a good protein source and gives you that nice creamy texture to enjoy, minus the guilt. And finally, chocolate is another good source of antioxidants and iron and can satisfy your sweet cravings. Plus, if you use coconut oil, you’ll also be getting some skin, nail, and hair health to benefit from.

What Can I Use Instead of Raspberries?

Raspberries are great, but you can also use blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries to make these bonbons. Remember that strawberries are larger, so you might need to cut them into smaller pieces and then use them. And since you’re already experimenting, why not try making these bonbons with other fruits too? Mangos, bananas, and peaches are some good classic options you can stick to.

Why Do I Add Coconut Oil to the Chocolate?

f you’re wondering why you should be adding coconut oil into the mix, well, here’s answering your question. Adding in this will ensure that your chocolate hardens up nicely and much faster, which means you’ll get that nice thick chocolate shell to the bonbons that you’re looking for.

How Do I Store the Bonbons?

These raspberry yogurt bonbons taste best when they are frozen, so if you’re making them in a batch, that’s the ideal way to store them. First, allow them to freeze completely and then get them out, transfer them to an airtight container and freeze again. These bonbons can stay fresh in there for up to a month.

Tips to Make the Chocolate Covered Raspberry Yogurt Bonbons

Ready to give these chocolate-covered raspberry yogurt bonbons a try? Follow these little tips to make sure you get the recipe to hit perfection.

Dark chocolate adds a nice subtle bitter flavor to the bonbons, and is obviously healthier too. You could also use regular milk chocolate if you want to, or white chocolate.
Remember to wash the berries that you are using thoroughly and allow them to dry up completely beforehand.
If you want to lend the yogurt some extra sweetness, you can add in a bit of honey or maple syrup.
To enjoy a creamier flavor to your yogurt, use Greek yogurt or full fat yogurt.
If you don’t like the bite the berries give you, you could just blitz the yogurt together with freeze dried berries. Then, pour the melted chocolate to coat the inside of silicone moulds, freeze, then pour the yogurt mixture into the chocolate mould, freeze and top it with another layer of melted chocolate to seal it.
If you’re planning to make the bonbons in this way, you might also want to add in the juice from half a lemon into the yogurt mixture. This will lend the yogurt inside a nice tart flavor that contrasts perfectly against the flavors of the dark chocolate.

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

These bite-sized sweet treats are a delight to have and serve, and if you’re planning to batch make them and serve them, here are a few ideas to consider.

While these raspberry yogurt bonbons are supposed to be served cold, let them rest outside the freezer for a minute or two before you actually serve them. This will help the outer chocolate shell soften just slightly, and the yogurt inside to just start to melt, which will let you enjoy the perfect taste and texture you are looking for.
A super innovative way to serve them is to place a couple or more of the bonbons on a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve it to your guests.
You could also sprinkle some chopped nuts or sprinkles on the chocolate layer before you freeze the bonbons.
Another cool idea is to drizzle a bit of the melted chocolate on the top of each bonbon. If you’re sticking to a dark chocolate outer, opt for a white chocolate drizzle and vice versa to get a nice contrast.

This easy no-bake recipe is definitely worth trying out, and if you’re interested in trying your hands at some more fun and easy no-bake recipes, here are a few good ones to try out.
