Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 clusters
Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring the surface is flat and smooth to help clusters set evenly.
- Create a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with 1-2 inches of water and placing a heat-safe glass bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Heat water to a gentle simmer and add dark chocolate chips to the glass bowl, stirring continuously with a silicone spatula until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove chocolate from heat and allow to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning the blueberries.
- Gently fold chopped macadamia nuts into the melted chocolate, ensuring even distribution.
- Carefully mix in blueberries, being gentle to avoid crushing them.
- Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the chocolate mixture for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop clusters onto the prepared parchment paper, creating approximately 12 uniform mounds.
- Place baking sheet in refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is completely set and firm.
- Remove clusters from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving to prevent immediate re-melting.
Tips
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and smoothest texture.
- Ensure your chocolate melts slowly and gently to prevent seizing or burning.
- Pat blueberries dry before adding to prevent excess moisture in your clusters.
- Use a consistent scoop size for uniform clusters that look professionally made.
- Allow clusters to set completely in the refrigerator for the perfect snap and texture.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place to maintain their crisp texture.
- For extra elegance, consider using a fine sea salt like Maldon for a delicate crunch.
