Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, water, and 1/4 cup sugar. Cook over medium heat until blackberries break down and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and let cool.
- In a large bowl, whip heavy cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in lemon juice, lemon zest, and cooled blackberry puree until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into silicone sphere molds (about 2 inches in diameter). Freeze for at least 6 hours or until solid.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together over a double boiler until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Remove frozen spheres from molds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Working quickly, pour or dip each sphere into melted chocolate to coat completely. Return to baking sheet.
- Freeze for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate shell. Serve immediately or store in the freezer for up to 1 week.
