Instructions

  1. Melt Chocolate:
    1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.

    3. Toast until golden brown, stirring frequently.
    4. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Loaf Pan:

  4. Layer Berries and Toppings:
    1. Add the chopped strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to the loaf pan in layers.
    2. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and coconut flakes, and chia seeds over the berries.
  5. Drizzle Chocolate:

    2. Holding onto the parchment paper flaps, remove the frozen block onto a cutting board.

    4. Using a serrated knife, cut into 8 bars.
    5. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store: Place bars lined in between with parchment paper pieces to prevent sticking in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, remove bar on a plate, let thaw for 1-2 minutes and enjoy.
  • You can use other types of berries or fruits, such as blackberries or sliced peaches.
  • For a sweeter treat, use milk chocolate or white chocolate chips.
  • Add other toppings like chopped nuts, seeds, or granola.
  • If you don’t have coconut oil, you can use another neutral oil, but coconut oil hardens nicely in the freezer.
  • For a vegan version, ensure your chocolate chips are vegan.
