Ingredients
1 heaping cup raspberries
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook raspberries for 5 minutes, stirring until they break down and release their juices.
- Stir in chia seeds and maple syrup (or honey). Reduce heat to low and cook 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. The jam will thicken further as it cools.
- Melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in the microwave in 20-second intervals), stirring until smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spoon small circles of melted chocolate onto the parchment to form the base of each bite.
- Add a teaspoon of raspberry chia jam to the center of each chocolate base.
- Cover with more melted chocolate, ensuring the jam is sealed completely.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Use frozen raspberries if fresh ones aren’t available; cook longer to reduce excess liquid.
Replace chia seeds with cornstarch if preferred for thickening.
Top with chopped nuts or coconut flakes before setting for extra texture.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free dark chocolate and maple syrup.
Store in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
