📝 Description

These bite-sized clusters combine juicy blueberries with smooth, sweet white chocolate for a melt-in-your-mouth dessert.

🧾 Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh blueberries (washed and completely dried)
• 2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Blueberries

Make sure your blueberries are fully dry. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize. Lay them on a paper towel after washing and let them air dry completely.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate

Use one of these methods:

Microwave Method:

• Place white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl
• Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth

Double Boiler Method:

• Place a heatproof bowl over simmering water
• Stir continuously until melted and silky

Step 3: Combine

Gently fold the blueberries into the melted white chocolate until fully coated. Be careful not to crush the berries.

Step 4: Form Clusters

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
• Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop clusters onto the sheet
• Each cluster should have about 8–12 blueberries

Step 5: Chill

Place the tray in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes or until the clusters are fully set.
