These blueberry and chocolate grapes only require three ingredients and are extremely fun to make! The blueberries are clustered so they look like grapes while the chocolate acts as glue to hold them together. These blueberry and chocolate grapes are healthy enough to be a snack in the day but they can also be a dessert.

To make the blueberry and chocolate grapes, blueberries get topped with chocolate and arranged in grape shaped clusters on parchment paper. Then, the dark chocolate gets piped as stems on top of each cluster before they are garnished with basil leaves. The results are blueberry clusters with the deep flavor of dark chocolate.

What are Blueberry and Chocolate Grapes?

These blueberry and chocolate grapes are basically clusters of blueberries and dark chocolate that look like grapes. The bottoms of the blueberries are coated in melted dark chocolate which adds flavor and helps hold the blueberries together. Meanwhile, basil gets added as a garnish which looks like a grape leaf coming out of the top.

Pro Tips

  • You can melt the dark chocolate in either the microwave or a double boiler on the stove. If you melt it in the microwave, you can heat it for 20 second intervals at a time until it is completely melted.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag for the chocolate, you can use a plastic bag and cut one corner out of it.
  • Feel free to use mint leaves instead of basil.
  • Although this recipe calls for dark chocolate, you can use whatever type of chocolate you prefer. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or white chocolate would all work well with this recipe.

What to Serve with Blueberry and Chocolate Grapes?

These blueberry and chocolate grapes can be served as a snack or dessert with coffee or tea. They also make a wonderful addition to kid’s school lunches for a sweet treat.

Can I Make Blueberry and Chocolate Grapes With Frozen Blueberries?

No, it is best to use fresh blueberries in this recipe as the frozen ones will bleed more juices as they melt. Make sure you choose larger blueberries for this recipe as well rather than wild blueberries that tend to be smaller.

Can I Use Other Chocolate in This Recipe?

Yes, you can! If you have other chocolate on hand that you need to use up, you can use that instead. White chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or milk chocolate would pair beautifully with the sweet taste of the blueberries.

Can I Make Blueberry and Chocolate Grapes With Other Berries?

Yes, while blueberries are the ideal option due to their small size and deep blue colour, you could use other fruit as well. Consider using smaller fruit like red or black currants for this recipe instead. Alternatively, you could use gooseberries, although they have a much larger size and would result in larger clusters.

How to Store Blueberry and Chocolate Grapes

These blueberry and chocolate grapes should be stored in a container in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. This way, the chocolate will stay solid without melting.
