Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup (30 g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- ½ cup (15 g) freeze-dried raspberries, crushed (optional)
- 1 tsp raspberry extract
- 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional toppings: chopped pistachios, white chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or chunks in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and creamy, or use a double boiler over simmering water until melted (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter and 1 tsp raspberry extract until fully combined and glossy.
- Gently fold in ½ cup (15 g) crushed freeze-dried raspberries.
- Pour the melted mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread evenly to about ¼-inch (6 mm) thickness.
- Sprinkle 1 cup (30 g) crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the top. Add optional chopped pistachios or white chocolate drizzle if desired. Finish with a light pinch of sea salt.
- Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set completely.
- Once set, lift the bark off the parchment and break into rustic chunks. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use low heat when melting white chocolate to avoid graininess. Crush freeze-dried strawberries into small chunks, not dust, for best texture. Let bark cool at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent condensation. Thinner bark sets faster and snaps better. A pinch of sea salt enhances flavor.
