You will need:
- Coconut oil
- Cocoa powder
- Frozen blueberries
- Whipping cream or canned coconut milk (for dairy free)
- If your coconut oil is solid at room temperature (in the fall and winter usually) use a metal bowl and melt the coconut oil over low heat. Once the coconut oil is liquid add some cocoa powder and stir until dissolved. How much cocoa powder you use depends on how strong you want the chocolate flavor
- Pour in frozen blueberries while stirring quickly to coat the blueberries before the coconut oil hardens.
- Let the coated blueberries sit while you either whip cream or make coconut whipped cream (below) for a creamy topping!
