This summer, we’re all about trending cold and fruity desserts.
While lemon possets, strawberry-Greek yogurt bites, and gut-healthy nice cream are delightful, the latest treat to catch our eye is fruit-filled chocolate bark.
The combination of rich chocolate and fresh fruit creates a refreshing summer dessert.
Created by Instagram foodie Selma @fitfoodieselma, this blueberry-chocolate bark is not only anti-inflammatory but also incredibly easy to make with just three ingredients.
Here’s how you can whip up this tasty and healthy treat:
Ingredients
2 ounces of 80% dark chocolate
1 cup of blueberries
1 tablespoon of shredded coconut
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate: Have your dark chocolate melted and ready to go.
Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the melted chocolate and blueberries gently with a spoon.
Prepare the Bark: Spread the chocolate-covered blueberries evenly on a plate lined with parchment paper, ensuring there are no gaps.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded coconut on top. This step is optional, but it adds a pleasant sweetness to the dark chocolate.
Chill: Place the plate in the refrigerator and let the bark sit for at least an hour until it hardens.
Serve: Once chilled, cut the bark into pieces and enjoy!
This dessert is perfect for making ahead. Just let it chill overnight and it will be ready the next day.
