You’ve arrived at the perfect destination for delightful treats that are as fun to make as they are to eat! Today, we’re embracing the timeless duo of chocolate and orange with a twist. These White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites are not just a treat; they’re a celebration of flavor, combining the creamy bliss of dairy-free white chocolate with the tangy zest of homemade citrus jam. Ready in a snap, these bites are perfect for when you need a quick dessert fix or a bright snack to brighten your day. This no-bake treat not only features my delicious 3 ingredient citrus chia jam but also combines simple, wholesome ingredients together in a process that is both fun and fuss-free! These bites are a foolproof way to bring a little brightness and joy into your snack time or dessert spread.
While I adore making this treat with my homemade citrus chia jam for its punchy and vibrant flavor, feel free to experiment with any citrus jam of your choice. Whether it’s lime, orange, or even grapefruit, the key is to find a flavor that compliments the sweetness of the white chocolate and brings a refreshing zest to the bites.
Making our White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites is a sweet and simple process that begins with melting vegan white chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave. Use 30-second intervals to carefully melt the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy. You could also opt for double boiling these over the stove if a microwave isn’t available. This blend forms the silky shell of our bites. Next, take your silicone moulds and coat the bottom and sides with a thin layer of the melted chocolate mix. This step creates the perfect pocket for our citrusy center. Pop the moulds into the freezer for a quick set, which should take just a minute or two.
Once the first layer of chocolate is set, it’s time to bring in the star of the show – the citrus jam. Spoon a teaspoon of this zesty jam into each chocolate-coated mould. The amount of jam can be adjusted depending on the size of your moulds. After filling, cover the jam with another layer of melted white chocolate, sealing the citrusy goodness inside. Return the moulds to the freezer for another brief chill to solidify the final layer, making sure everything is perfectly set.
After the final freeze, your White Chocolate Citrus Jam Bites are almost ready. Take the moulds out of the freezer, and add a final touch by drizzling them with any remaining white chocolate for a beautiful, professional finish. A quick return to the freezer ensures everything is set. This doesn’t take long and I know you’re probably antsy to try them so pop one out and give it a bite!
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these delightful bites can last up to two weeks, making them a great make-ahead treat for gatherings, gifts, or just to have on hand for when sweet cravings strike.
Have fun creating these jam bites! There is no wrong way to do them and they are a great activity to share with the kiddos! Have no baking, baking!
