Ingredients:
Fresh berries – 1 cup (strawberries, raspberries, or a mix work beautifully)
Gelatin – 1 tbsp (unflavored)
Sugar – 1/4 cup
Lemon juice – 1 tbsp (brightens the berry flavor)
Dark chocolate – 1 cup (chopped or chips)
Optional: White chocolate – for decorative drizzle
Step 1: Prepare the Berry Gelee
Start by pureeing your fresh berries in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a silky texture.
In a small saucepan, gently heat the berry puree. Sprinkle in the gelatin and stir until fully dissolved. Add the sugar, stirring until incorporated. Finish with a splash of lemon juice for a bright, balanced flavor.
Step 2: Set the Gelee
Line a small dish or container with parchment paper. Pour the berry mixture in and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set and firm.
Step 3: Cut into Squares
Once set, lift the gelee from the dish and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife lightly greased or dipped in hot water, cut the gelee into bite-sized squares.
Step 4: Enrobe in Chocolate
Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, gently lower each gelee square into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess drip off, then place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill until chocolate is set.
Optional: Add a White Chocolate Drizzle
For a decorative finish, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of each square using a fork or piping bag. Chill briefly to set the drizzle.
