Dark chocolate raspberry is such a great flavor combination. This tastes like a chocolate raspberry truffle without all the trouble of rolling the chocolate mixture into balls and ending up to your elbows in chocolate. This easy chocolate raspberry bark has only four ingredients, is keto, low carb, sugar-free, gluten-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I've used the wonderful dark chocolate raspberry combination before and I'll totally use it again (Low Carb Raspberry Brownies, anyone?). Last night I decided to make a quick dessert and I loved the results.
Truffles are wonderful but rolling them can be so messy. This is an easy way to have the consistency and taste of a truffle but the ease of a bark.
A little while after making this I saw the toddler coming out of the fridge covered in chocolate. I guess I should've put my truffle bark tray on a higher shelf... chocolate might be ok for mommy to eat for breakfast but I prefer my children to eat real breakfast food like eggs and bacon.
How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Bark
This is as simple as melting chocolate and stirring in 3 more ingredients.
Ingredients for Chocolate Raspberry Bark:
two 3.5 oz bars dark chocolate ***
one 5.4 oz can of coconut cream
5 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend) or to taste
one 1.25 oz bag of freeze-dried raspberries ***
***I used Lindt 90% bars I got on sale from Amazon and Simply Balanced freeze dried raspberries from Target
Step One: Melt the chocolate. I melt it in the microwave stirring every thirty seconds.
Step Two: When it is melted stir in the coconut cream, sweetener, and chopped freeze-dried raspberries.
Step Three: Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate.
Ingredients
- 7 oz dark chocolate ***
- 5.4 oz coconut cream (one small can)
- 5 tbsp Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 1.25 oz freeze-dried raspberries ***
Instructions
- In a microwavable bowl or on top of a double boiler melt the chocolate. I melt it in the microwave stirring every thirty seconds.
- When it is melted stir in the coconut cream and sweetener.
- Open the bag of freeze dried raspberries to let out the air then put the bag on the counter and lightly squish it to break up any big pieces.
- Stir the raspberries into the chocolate.
- Taste it. If it is not sweet enough you can add more sweetener. I like dark and semi sweet chocolate but this might not be sweet enough for everyone.
- Spread on a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm. This will end up the consistency of a truffle, slightly soft but still firm. I cut it into triangles with a pizza cutter.
- Store in the refrigerator.

Can I use frozen raspberries?
Taryn says
No, sorry, they are too wet. The will separate from the chocolate. You need freeze dried for this. Any freeze-dried berries will work. Strawberries can be a little easier to find than raspberries.
Shari says
Hello, what's the complete nutrition information for this recipe please.
Thanks!

I just added the nutrition facts to the bottom of the post. Thanks!
Stephanie Gibbons says
I ❤️all fruit but freeze dried raspberries would be fun to try. Num‼️
Rita George says
mine did not hardened at all. What did i do wrong? I used lilly chocolate chips for the chocolate and freeze dried raspberries and one can of coconut cream as indicated in instructions.
Taryn says
Hi Rita, did you use 7 oz of chocolate with the 5 oz can of coconut cream? Since I added sweetener to 7 oz of chocolate it would've made it about 8 oz. I'm not sure why yours didn't harden.
Ally says
Oh em gee, these look amazing! I *love* simple little candyish desserts like this, perfect for a sweet bite with my evening tea - this is better ingredients than the cream cheese "fudge" I often make, and much prettier too 😉 I may or may not be running out for freeze dried fruit this afternoon!
Amy Ferrara says
This is so delicious!! I had to move mine to the freezer to harden because it was still too soft in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe!
Faith says
I haven't come across freeze dried raspberries. What kind of carbs does it have?
Taryn says
1 bag had 29 carbs and 11 grams of fiber. So 18 net carbs divided by twelve servings of this recipe only adds 1.5 carbs per serving. I've purchased them online, at Target, and at Trader Joe's.
Sheryl Fernandes says
Is canned coconut milk (full fat) the same thing as coconut cream? thanks...this looks soooo good!!!
Taryn says
Coconut cream is what you get when you chill full fat coconut milk and only use the thickened part. You can do that but it is cheaper to just buy the little cans. If you choose to separate a can of coconut milk save the thin watery 'skim' part to add to smoothies 🙂
Michelle says
Does the coconut cream give it a coconut taste? I am not crazy about coconut but this looks wonderful. Thanks
Taryn says
I couldn't taste the coconut at all.
