Made with just 4 simple ingredients, these frozen chocolate raspberries are a delicious way to enjoy those addictingly good Tru Fru treats at home! There’s no special equipment needed to make them and the chocolate raspberry bites only take 10 minutes of work to put together. You could even try making them with strawberries, bananas, or any other delicious fruit!
I recently tried and became obsessed with Tru Fru frozen chocolate raspberries. They’re a fruit that is frozen with a layer of white chocolate and dark chocolate. They make a great healthy snack or dessert for when you’re craving something sweet!
But, they’re expensive!. And I’m not saying I did, but I’m fairly certain a person could eat a bag in one sitting pretty easily. With such simple ingredients, I knew I could make them at home.
What I came up with is a recipe for frozen chocolate-covered raspberries that’s easier to make than driving to Target! I’m so excited to share it with you guys!
Why you’ll love it
- Minimal ingredients make this recipe a great choice for when your pantry or fridge is running low.
- Customizable because while I like these with raspberries, you could use strawberries, blueberries, or any other type of berry you like.
- A healthy snack for when you just need something for your sweet tooth!
Ingredients for Chocolate-Covered Raspberries
The list of ingredients couldn’t be simpler with only 4 ingredients needed to make these raspberries! You’ll need:
- Raspberries: The original Tru Fru uses raspberries and for good reason. Their slight tang is the perfect compliment to creamy chocolate, plus they are bite-sized! You could use already fresh or frozen whole raspberries.
- White Chocolate: White chocolate adds most of the sweetness to contrast the dark chocolate. You could use baking chips, white chocolate chips, or chunks.
- Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate is much less sweet than milk chocolate so it was a no-brainer to pair with white chocolate. Chocolate chips, baking chips, or chunks could all work for dark chocolate.
- Coconut Oil: This is the secret ingredient! When melted, mixed with chocolate, and frozen, it creates an irresistible crunch. This is very similar to Hershey’s magic shell for my fellow 90’s kids!
How To Melt Chocolate (The Right Way)
You can use the microwave or stove to melt the chocolate. We’ve got a complete guide to melting chocolate here to ensure it doesn’t seize up!
How to make frozen raspberries
To make this Tru Fru copycat you only need a tray to freeze the berries and a bowl to melt the chocolate in. And just to give you an idea of the work (or lack of) that goes into this recipe, here’s a quick overview:
- Freeze the berries on a tray so they are easier to handle (this also helps the chocolate to firm up quickly once dipped).
- Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil and dip the raspberries into it.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the rest of the coconut oil and dip the white chocolate raspberries into it.
- Freeze them on the tray until hardened and then enjoy!
Storage
These sweet bites are best stored in the freezer. After they are frozen on the tray, transfer to an air-tight container or bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Variations
Like I keep saying, this recipe can be customized in so many different ways! Here are just a few unique ways to enjoy frozen chocolate fruit.
- Use peanut butter and banana to make an Elvix frozen treat. Add 1 tsp of peanut butter to the white chocolate and swap the raspberries for banana slices. You can also use milk chocolate in place of dark.
- Add some spice to this snack by mixing in 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper to the dark chocolate and swap the raspberries for frozen mangoes.
- Add some spring flare by mixing in the zest from half a lemon to the white chocolate, swap the raspberries for strawberry chunks, and omit the dark chocolate.
- Add protein by pipping Greek yogurt into the center of the raspberries before dipping.
FAQs
Are frozen raspberries healthy?
Yes, raspberries frozen when ripe retain nearly all their nutritional value. Now with the white chocolate and dark chocolate they are not quite as healthy, but still better than most desserts!
Can I use raspberries that are already frozen?
Yes, if you can find whole frozen raspberries this is great option and a great way to save a little time while making the recipe.
Can this recipe be made vegan?
Yes, to make it vegan you will need to use vegan white chocolate and dark chocolate (which is naturally vegan).
Chocolate + Fruit = Match Made In Heaven!
These tasty bites work as a snack or dessert. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of other healthy snacks like:

Ingredients
- 2 cups raspberries fresh or frozen
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
- 2 tsp coconut oil divided
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Freeze Berries: Freeze berries in a single layer. This makes dipping easier, and will help the chocolate firm up more quickly!
- White Chocolate: Add white chocolate and 1 tsp of the coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring between rounds, until most of the chocolate is melted. Stir to melt the remaining chunks. Dip each raspberry into the white chocolate using a fork, transferring each to a parchment-lined plate when finished.
- Dark Chocolate: Add dark chocolate and remaining 1 tsp of the coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Repeat step 2, dipping the berries in the dark chocolate this time.
- Freeze: Transfer finished berries to the freezer until ready to enjoy!
