Blueberry Obsidian Gems

Blueberry Obsidian Gems

These Blueberry Obsidian Gems deliver a striking combination of texture and flavor through a refined panning technique. Whole dried blueberries form the core, gradually coated to a smooth finish with Callebaut Fleur de Cao chocolate, while blueberry powder creates an even surface and intensifies the fruit profile. As Chef Domenica Lazo explains, “There is a slight earthiness to blueberries, especially when they are dried. Callebaut Fleur de Cao has a smoky note that bridges the two together.” The chocolate’s subtle smokiness enhances the natural depth of the fruit, creating a balanced and layered taste experience. The result is a visually polished, bite‑sized confection with a smooth shell, concentrated flavor, and strong appeal for retail and gifting.
