Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) dark chocolate
Fresh Fruits:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) fresh raspberries, rinsed and dried
Preparation Ingredients:
- None listed
Instructions
- Prepare a flat tray by carefully lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring a smooth surface. If using cookie cutters, lightly grease them with a thin layer of oil to prevent chocolate from sticking.
- Gently melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring consistently to achieve a glossy, uniform consistency without any lumps.
- Carefully pour the melted chocolate into each cookie cutter mold, creating an even layer that covers the bottom. Reserve a small portion of chocolate for the final decorative touch.
- While the chocolate remains soft and pliable, delicately position raspberries facing downward into the chocolate layer. Press them gently to ensure they are securely embedded but not completely submerged.
- Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to solidify for approximately 45 minutes. The bark should become firm enough to hold its shape when touched.
- Once the initial layer has set, drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the raspberries, creating an artistic pattern that enhances the visual appeal of the bark.
- Return the tray to the refrigerator for an additional 30-45 minutes to ensure complete hardening and optimal texture.
- Carefully remove the bark from the cookie cutters, gently breaking or cutting into individual pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within several days for maximum freshness.
Notes
- Smooth out oily cookie cutters with a light brush to prevent chocolate sticking during molding.
- Carefully select high-quality dark chocolate for rich, intense flavor that complements fresh raspberries.
- Strategically place raspberries upside down to create beautiful visual texture and maximize fruit integration.
