Ingredients for these raspberry chocolate jam bites

How to make these TikTok-viral chocolate raspberry jam clusters
Follow these steps to assemble the jam clusters. Scroll to the recipe section for exact measurements and timing.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and make sure it will fit in your freezer.
- In a medium bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork until they break down into a chunky purée.
- Stir in the chia seeds and maple syrup. Let the mixture rest for several minutes so the chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the jam.
- Scoop equal portions of the raspberry mixture onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to form small discs.
- Freeze the discs for about an hour, or until they are solid.
- Melt the dark chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil in a double boiler or in the microwave in short increments, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Working quickly, dip each frozen raspberry disc into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Shake off any excess and place the coated pieces back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Return the tray to the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or until the chocolate sets. Serve straight from the freezer or let sit briefly to soften a bit before enjoying.
Frequently asked questions – FAQ
How should I store these chocolate jam clusters?
Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. Pull out a few whenever you want a refreshing, chocolatey treat.
Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them briefly in a microwave-safe bowl or at room temperature until they’re soft enough to mash. This makes it easier to combine them with the chia seeds.
Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely. Berries that release enough liquid to hydrate chia seeds work well — try blueberries or blackberries, or a mixed-berry blend for different flavors and textures.
How can I elevate these sweet bites?
Add a small dollop of peanut butter or almond butter on top of each raspberry jam disc before freezing. After dipping in chocolate, you’ll get a delicious peanut butter-and-jelly flavor profile.
Can I use a different chocolate?
Yes — dark chocolate pairs exceptionally well with raspberry, but milk or white chocolate will also work if you prefer something sweeter.
Can these be made vegan?
The jam itself is vegan. To keep the entire recipe vegan, use dairy-free chocolate for coating.
