A stack of red and dark chocolate-dipped cookies is surrounded by fresh raspberries and blueberries. Some cookies are topped with sea salt, and bowls of berries and chocolate are blurred in the background.

3-Ingredient Frozen Chocolate Berry Bites

These jammy frozen bites work beautifully with blueberries or raspberries, require zero baking, and live happily in your freezer for whenever a chocolate craving strikes.
Yield: 16 bites
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 2 heaping cups blueberries OR raspberries, fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Cook the berries: Place berries in a wide, shallow microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2–3 minutes, checking at the 2-minute mark, until softened and very juicy.
  • Mash and mix in chia: Mash with the back of a fork to break up the berries. A mix of liquid and chunky bits is perfect. Stir in 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Let sit on the counter (or in the fridge) for at least 15 minutes, until thick and jam-like.
  • Scoop & freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, drop 16 compact spoonfuls of the jam onto the sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate: Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in the microwave (20–30-second bursts, stirring between until velvety smooth) or using a double boiler until perfectly melted. Spoon the melted chocolate over the tops of each frozen jam mound and gently swirl to cover the surface.
  • Freeze to set: Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

• Mixed Berry Option (if you want both!): Use 1 heaping cup blueberries + 1 heaping cup raspberries, and make them in two separate bowls. Microwave/mash each, then stir 1 tablespoon chia seeds into each bowl. Scoop both flavors onto the same tray (you’ll still get about 16 bites total).
• Storage (important!): These bites must be stored in the freezer. If left out, the jam center will soften and lose structure. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• How to enjoy: Eat straight from the freezer, or let sit out 1–2 minutes max before enjoying (just to slightly soften the jammy layer).
• Gluten-free: Naturally gluten-free.
• Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate chips
