Create chocolate-filled raspberries in a few simple steps. They make a lovely party treat, an elegant garnish for desserts, or a small bite to enjoy with coffee.
These chocolate-filled raspberries were first made for an ice cream bar photo shoot, and it’s easy to see why they became the star. Fruit and chocolate pair beautifully, and the bright tartness of raspberries contrasts perfectly with smooth melted chocolate. They’re an attention-grabbing addition to any spread.
I’ve also used these when styling desserts for baking competitions—simple, elegant, and fast to prepare.
The best part is how effortless they are to make. With just two main ingredients and minimal equipment, you’ll have a bowl of irresistible treats in no time. They’re so tasty people tend to pick them up one by one until they’re gone.
Chocolate Filled Raspberries
This recipe requires only a piping bag or a zip-top plastic bag with a small corner snipped off, plus a microwave-safe bowl to melt the chocolate. If you prefer, you can melt chocolate over a double boiler instead of using the microwave.
Ingredients
- Semisweet chocolate chips (or milk or dark chocolate chips, according to your taste)
- Fresh raspberries
Directions
- Gently wash the raspberries and pat them dry with a paper towel, or set them on a paper towel to air dry. Make sure they are dry so the chocolate adheres well.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for about 45 seconds. Stir thoroughly until smooth. If needed, heat in additional 10-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bag or a sturdy zip-top bag. Snip a very small hole in the corner to create a fine tip for filling.
- Hold a raspberry by the base and pipe a small amount of chocolate into the hollow center of each berry. Fill just enough so the chocolate sits inside the raspberry without overflowing.
- Set the filled raspberries on a sheet of parchment or wax paper and allow the chocolate to set. If you want the chocolate to set more quickly, place the tray in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.
Serve these as a simple, elegant dessert, a garnish for ice cream or cakes, or packaged as a thoughtful edible gift. They’re best the same day they’re made, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a short time.
