Ingredients
-
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
-
8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
-
1 tsp coconut oil
Directions
Prepare a container
Evenly distribute the frozen blueberries in the container, ensuring they are not clumped together.
Combine the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop: place the bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water, and stir until melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the frozen blueberries.
Place the container in the refrigerator for about one hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully attempt to remove the bark from the container and break it in pieces.
Recipe Note
Additional Tips:
Chocolate Quality: Using high-quality dark chocolate with a higher cacao content not only enhances the flavor but also provides more antioxidants.
Serving Suggestions: This bark can be enjoyed straight from the refrigerator or allowed to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before serving.
