Jump to Recipe Jump to VideoIf you’ve ever been to Danville Chocolates in East Bay, then you know they have gorgeous and delicious treats for sale all year round. A friend introduced me, and I especially like their raspberry and white chocolate bark. I’m not normally a fan of chocolate barks that traditionally have dried fruits and nuts, but was intrigued with this version with fresh fruit. I have started making a similar version at home.
This fresh raspberry white chocolate bark recipe is so simple and only requires two ingredients: white chocolate and fresh raspberries. You can definitely dress it up and add drizzled chocolate, nuts, dried or dehydrated fruits, if that is your vibe, but I personally am sticking with this simple version as I just love the simple flavor combo of high quality white chocolate and fresh, in season raspberries.
If you are looking for a simple and easy no-bake dessert treat this Valentine’s day or for any small gathering or celebration, than this is a great option. You might also consider making some white chocolate Nutella covered strawberries while you’re at it!
This recipe is best enjoyed the same day you make it!
Ingredients for Fresh Raspberry White Chocolate Bark Recipe
Fresh Raspberries add amazing flavor and nutrition in this simple white chocolate bark recipe. Raspberries are low in calories, and full of antioxidants. They are also high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. I always buy more raspberries than I need for any recipe so I can snack on some during the process. Be sure to pick out raspberries that are ripe. They should be brightly colored, full, and round.
White Chocolate is the base of this recipe and while any meltable white chocolate will do I’m a big fan of Ghirardelli white chocolate chips. If you would rather use dark chocolate instead of white, feel free to play around! You can’t go wrong with the combo of fresh berries and any chocolate in my book!
How to Make Fresh Raspberry White Chocolate Bark Recipe
A Double Boiler is needed for this raspberry white chocolate bark recipe. If you don’t have a double boiler, don’t worry, it’s very simple to make your own. All you need is a medium sized saucepan, some water, and a heatproof bowl. To use, simply fill the bottom of the saucepan with a couple inches of water, add the heatproof bowl and bring water to simmer. The steam released from the water gets trapped in between the pot and the bowl and will gently heat the chocolate until it is melted.
First, thoroughly rinse and dry your fresh raspberries. This can feel tedious but you don’t want your raspberries to be watery and soggy. Set aside the rinsed strawberries on a paper towel.
Next, set up a baking mat, wax paper, or parchment paper for the bark and set aside.
Now, set up your double boiler. Melt your base by adding white chocolate chips, and gently stir every minute or so until the completely melted. Pour white chocolate over wax paper and smooth it out to desired thickness with a spatula. I like my bark about 1/4″ thick. Let cool for 3-5 minutes.
Now gently place fresh raspberries into the bark. You can add a lot of raspberries close together, or spread them out , it just depends on the ratio you prefer. I personally think the more raspberries, the better!
Finally, let your bark cool either on the countertop or in the fridge until the bark is completely hardened. Break the bark into pieces and serve.
FAQ or Substitutions
How long does chocolate bark take to harden? The bark should harden and cool in about ten minutes in the fridge, or several hours on the counter. If you want to speed up the process even more you can add bark to the freezer for about five minutes.
How long does bark with fresh berries last? It is best to eat bark with fresh berries the same day that you make them, however you can store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours if needed.
Why should I use a double boiler for melting chocolate? While you can technically use a microwave or a simple saucepan for melting chocolate, results can be mixed and using a double boiler is a superior method. It gives you more control over the heat and melts the chocolate in a more gentle way, so that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
Can this recipe be made using regular chocolate? Yes, if you would rather use regular chocolate instead of white chocolate this bark recipe will still turn out delicious.
