The blend of fresh raspberries and chocolate is a match made in heaven, and these frozen bombs are no exception. They are essentially a ball of raspberry and cream mixture coated with a layer of dark chocolate and topped with crunchy cacao nibs and fleur de sel. The contrast of flavors and textures makes them an excellent dessert for any occasion. The best part is that you can make them ahead of time and store them in the freezer until you are ready to indulge. Not only are they satisfying, but they are also easy to make, and their beautiful presentation is sure to impress your guests.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor, puree the raspberries until smooth. Then, pour the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
2.	In a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form.
3.	Gently fold in the raspberry puree.
4.	Fill each mold with the raspberry cream mixture to about ¾ full.
5.	Insert a popsicle stick in each mold.
6.	Freeze them for at least 4 hours or until they are solid.
7.	Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave.
8.	Dip each frozen raspberry bomb into the melted chocolate and roll them in the dark chocolate covered cacao nibs or grated dark chocolate before returning them to the freezer.
9.	Sprinkle fleur de sel over the top before serving.

PROS

Frozen Chocolate Raspberry Bombs are not only delicious but are also easy to make and require few ingredients.

They are perfect for a hot summer day as they are refreshing and cool.

They are also visually attractive, and their round shape and pop of color make them a great choice for a dinner party.

CONS

These Raspberry Bombs are high in calories, fat, and sugar, which makes them less suitable for people who are watching their weight or have dietary restrictions.

They are best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular dessert.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Despite their high calorie content, raspberries are rich in antioxidants and fiber, which may help keep your body healthy and improve digestion.
Dark chocolate also provides health benefits as it contains flavonoids, which have been linked to improving heart health and reducing inflammation.
However, be mindful of the amount you consume as it also contains a decent amount of sugar and fat.
