Ingredients
Scale
Chia Jam
- 1 heaping cup raspberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey)
Chocolate Coating
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or chunks)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Make sure there is enough space in the freezer for the baking sheet later.
- Make Raspberry Chia Jam: In a bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork until mostly smooth. Mix in the chia seeds and maple syrup (or honey) until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
- Freeze Jam Clusters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the chia jam onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each dollop about 2 inches apart. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour or until the clusters are fully solid.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: In a medium bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips along with the coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir thoroughly between each increment to prevent burning and achieve a smooth consistency.
- Dip Jam Bites: Working quickly, dip each frozen jam cluster into the melted chocolate ensuring it is fully coated. Transfer the coated clusters back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each one.
- Set Chocolate: Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate coating has completely set.
Notes
- Ensure the jam clusters are completely frozen before dipping to avoid melting the chocolate.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth coating.
- Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them firm.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
