You need 6 ingredients to make this delicious and impressive chocolatey treat! They are quick and easy to make, but you’ll have to wait 5 hours for the filling to solidify in the freezer, before dipping them in dark chocolate. Don’t worry, they are totally worth the wait. You can then enjoy these straight out of the freezer or you can move them to the fridge. I actually prefer them slightly chilled or at room temperature. Because then the filling is going to be soft and jammy. These Blueberry and Almond Butter Bonbons taste like a fancy, luscious dessert, but they are actually quite simple and fuss-free. I have these cute little molds, but if you don’t, you could try using small ice cube molds (or an ice cube tray), non-stick cupcake liners or silicone muffin cups. For the filling I made a quick blueberry chia jam with a bit of orange zest. I then topped each bonbon with half a teaspoon of almond butter. I placed the filling in the freezer for 5 hours and then dipped the bonbons in dark chocolate. These vegan chocolates will keep in the freezer for 1 month, though I don’t think they will last that long because these homemade bonbons are hard to resist. **If you try this easy dessert recipe, let us know what you think.

Bring to a boil. Then lower the heat and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes. - Mash the blueberries with a fork, a spatula or a potato masher. - Add orange zest, coconut nectar or maple syrup and chia seeds. Stir until combined and simmer for 5 more minutes. The mixture should be quite thick by now and look like jam. - Turn off the heat and let cool. - Using a small spoon fill each mold with the blueberry jam. Don’t go all the way up, leave a little room for the almond butter. - Add ½ tsp of almond butter to each mold. And place them in the freezer for 5 hours. Or until completely frozen. - Once frozen, melt the chocolate. Place the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium power. Stir and repeat until 70 – 80 % of the chocolate is melted, the rest will melt as you stir. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, it will ruin the taste and texture. - Using a fork, dip the bonbons in the melted chocolate, shake off the excess chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined plate. - Place in the fridge until the chocolate settles and enjoy these tasty treats! - You can then enjoy these straight out of the freezer or you can move them to the fridge. I actually prefer them slightly chilled or at room temperature. Because then the filling is going to be soft and jammy. - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for up to a month. ### Video ### Search ### Recent Post - [Single-Serve Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/12/04/single-serve-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookie/) - [Herbed Quinoa Pea Salad](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/10/21/herbed-quinoa-pea-salad/) - [Greek-Inspired Potato Stew](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/30/greek-inspired-potato-stew/) - [No Churn Vegan Chocolate Almond Ice Cream](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/09/23/no-churn-vegan-chocolate-almond-ice-cream/) - [Apple Pecan Cookies](https://mondaydreams.com/2025/08/18/apple-pecan-cookies/) ### Archives Archives Select Month December 2025 October 2025 September 2025 August 2025 June 2025 April 2025 October 2024 September 2024 August 2024 July 2024 June 2024 May 2024 April 2024 March 2024 December 2023 November 2023 October 2023 September 2023 August 2023 July 2023 June 2023 May 2023 April 2023 March 2023 February 2023 January 2023 December 2022 November 2022 October 2022 September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 June 2022 May 2022 April 2022 March 2022 February 2022 January 2022 December 2021 November 2021 October 2021 September 2021 August 2021 July 2021 June 2021 May 2021 April 2021 March 2021 February 2021 January 2021 December 2020 November 2020 October 2020 September 2020 August 2020 June 2020 May 2020 April 2020 January 2017 ### Leave a Reply [Cancel reply](/2023/07/06/blueberry-and-almond-butter-bonbons/#respond) You must be [logged in](https://mondaydreams.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmondaydreams.com%2F2023%2F07%2F06%2Fblueberry-and-almond-butter-bonbons%2F) to post a comment.
