Homemade Tru Fru

 

If you love Trü Frü but not the price tag, this homemade version is such a fun and easy alternative. Fresh raspberries are coated in layers of dark and white chocolate for a sweet, fruit-forward treat that tastes surprisingly close to the original. They’re simple to make, perfect to keep in the freezer for when a sweet craving hits, and cost about half the price of store-bought. A little chocolate, a little fruit, and honestly… a very dangerous combination in the best way.

 

Homemade Trü Frü

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (about 35 raspberries)

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips 

  • 1/2 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Other: a straw for holding the raspberries 

Instructions:

  1. Add the white chocolate chips and 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil to a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. 

  2. Place a raspberry on the end of a straw and dip one side of the raspberries against a spoonful of melted white chocolate. Rotate the raspberry until all sides are fully coated, but keep the layer light. 

  3. Place the raspberry on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat step 2 with all of the raspberries.

  4. Place the raspberries in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. 

  5. Add the dark chocolate chips and 1/2 tbsp of coconut oil to a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. 

  6. Place the white chocolate covered raspberry onto a straw and repeat steps 2 and 3, this time with the dark chocolate. 

  7. Place the raspberries in the freezer for at least 30 minutes until hardened. Store in an airtight container in the freezer.
