RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Chocolate Covered Blueberries

• 2 cups of fresh blueberries, thoroughly washed and dried
• 9 ounces of high-quality white or milk chocolate (or a combination of both), finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• Zest from one lemon
• 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract or a few drops of lemon oil (adjust to your taste)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» For making Chocolate Covered Blueberries

1. In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the finely chopped chocolate. Stir in the coconut oil until well combined. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until it's smooth and fully melted. If using a double boiler, place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and stir until completely melted.
2. Once the chocolate is velvety and smooth, incorporate the lemon zest and lemon extract or lemon oil, adjusting to your desired level of zestiness. The lemon infusion adds a delightful twist to the chocolate. Add the fresh blueberries into the luscious melted chocolate mixture, ensuring each berry is evenly coated.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully scoop out the blueberries, either in clusters of about four berries or individually. Ensure they do not touch each other to prevent sticking, and sprinkle each cluster with lemon zest. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and the blueberries are set. If you prefer a quicker setting, you can use the freezer.
4. Once the chocolate has set, you can enjoy the chocolate-covered blueberries immediately or transfer them to an airtight container for later. They make a delightful snack or dessert and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days until you're ready to serve.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Feel free to customize by adding additional ingredients such as crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a dusting of cocoa powder for enhanced texture and flavor.
2. Adding lemon flavor is optional but highly recommended, as it imparts a refreshing citrusy note that harmonizes beautifully with the sweet chocolate and blueberries.
3. You can adjust the quantity of flavoring to suit your taste preferences.
