These easy chocolate covered raspberries are a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Juicy raspberries are coated in creamy white chocolate, dipped in rich dark chocolate, and frozen for a perfect 15-minute dessert. They’re my favorite Tru Fru copycat recipe!
Top Tip: Make sure your raspberries are completely dry before dipping—any moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking!

Ingredient Notes
- Fresh raspberries: I recommend fresh raspberries because they’re plump and juicy!
- White chocolate: any white chocolate melts well so grab chips or a bar! Pascha makes a great dairy free white chocolate! You could also use a white chocolate made with Stevia for lower sugar content like Lily’s!
- Dark chocolate: I love using dark chocolate because it’s a good balance of bitter to the sweet fruit and it’s also naturally dairy free. Use dark chocolate chips or a dark chocolate baking bar.

How to Make Chocolate Covered Raspberries
Before you begin: Wash the raspberries and gently pat them dry them well with paper towels, being careful to not damage or break them.
Step 1. Coat in White Chocolate. Place the white chocolate in a medium, microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds until melted and smooth. You can also place the chocolate in a double boiler to melt it. Use a toothpick to poke the bottom of the raspberry (the closed small end) and dip the raspberry in the melted white chocolate. Do your best to fill the whole of the raspberry with chocolate.
Step 2. Freeze. Place the dipped chocolate on the prepared baking sheet on its side and repeat with all fo the raspberries. When they’re done, place the baking sheet in the freezer.
Step 3. Dip in Dark Chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave. Use a new toothpick to poke the white chocolate raspberries then dip them into the melted dark chocolate.
Step 4. Freeze Again. Place the dark chocolate covered raspberries back on the baking sheet and transfer to the freezer for another 3-4 minutes, until set.
Expert Recipe Tips
- Use a toothpick to dip the raspberries in the chocolate because the raspberries are so small and the chocolate can easily cover your fingers.
- Use parchment paper for easy clean up.
- Clear out room in your freezer before you begin. We’re freezing an entire sheet pan so it’s a great idea to have room before you start.
- Melt your chocolate in increments of 30 seconds to avoid burning.
- Let them come to room temperature for 5 minutes before you enjoy them to soften a bit. This is what I like to do with the storebought trü frü raspberries too.
Recipe FAQs
When the chocolate covered raspberries are completely frozen, transfer them to an air tight container and store them in the freezer for up to one month (if they last that long!).
The best chocolate for dipping is a high quality chocolate (with a large percentage of cocoa butter). If you can find a high quality chocolate bar that’s best. However, chocolate chips work too. You might need to add a bit of coconut oil to the chips to help them melt easier.
If your chocolate is too thick, you can add a teaspoon or so of coconut oil to help thin it out.
Yes, you can use chocolate chips! However, chocolate chips were created to keep their shape and withstand the heat, so you may need a little help from the coconut oil. If you’re using chips, be careful not to overheat the chocolate and don’t forget to heat in increments. Have some coconut oil on stand by if you need it!
