Chocolate Popovers with Raspberry Syrup
Warm and fluffy Dark Chocolate Popovers with fresh Raspberry Syrup!
This whole growing up thing is weird. Last weekend, I went home for my best childhood friend’s baby shower. We both live in different places, far away from our hometown and we only see each other about twice a year.
We chit chat often but for the most part, we are friends from afar. I love her, I miss her and I know she feels the same but we have come to terms with the fact we won’t ever ride bikes to each others houses again or have sleep overs. We are grown up friends in grown up places.
I know that. Logically, I understand. But within minutes of seeing her this weekend all those years faded away. She was Katie and I was Annie and we were gossipy girls again.
It was as if no time had passed. I have always loved that about our friendship. Whenever you find a friend like that, hold them tight!
When the shower was over, we stood around much longer than we should avoiding our goodbyes. She and I stood outside the little country church as the sun was setting and said a tearful goodbye.
We hugged a bit longer and a bit tighter than normal with her big baby belly in between us. It is the last time I will see her before she has a family of her own. I drove away, down the winding country back roads to my parents house and passed the roads she and I played on and the fields we learned to drive in and I couldn’t help but smile.
I pray no matter how many miles and how many years pass life always brings us back together. And now chocolate, because…well why not? I may have drowned my sorrows of adulthood in this Brownie Pie while Mr. Maebell requested Keto Chocolate Sugar Cookies.
Ingredients for Chocolate Popovers
As always, here is quick run down of the ingredients you will need for Popovers with Raspberry Syrup. For the complete recipe, just keep scrolling.
For the Chocolate Popovers:
- Gluten free Bisquick- if you only have regular Bisquick, that works fine.
- Salt- table salt or kosher salt will work
- Cocoa powder- a high quality cocoa powder is a pantry staple
- Coconut sugar- if you aren’t keto, you can use regular sugar
- Eggs- size large
- Milk- I used 2%
- Dark chocolate- if you don’t prefer dark chocolate, milk chocolate will also work
For the Raspberry Syrup:
- Raspberries- fresh, not frozen
- Coconut sugar- again, if you aren’t keto, regular sugar is fine
- Water
- Corn starch
How do you prepare Popovers with Raspberry Sauce?
These popovers are indulgently flavored with rich dark chocolate and topped with an amazing raspberry syrup to bring them all together with a tarty sweetness. Here is how we make them!
First, preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place a 12 count muffin tin or a 12 count popover pan into the warming oven. Next, whisk together the flour, salt, cocoa powder and sugar until combined.
Following this, whisk together your eggs and milk in a separate bowl. Fold into the flour mixture until combined. Add half of your chopped dark chocolate to the mixture.
Remove the baking tins from the oven and either spray with nonstick spray or brush with one tablespoon of melted butter. Working quickly, pour batter into the tins until they are 3/4 full. Sprinkle the rest of the dark chocolate over the tops of the popovers.
Next, bake for 20 minutes. While your popovers are baking, start your Raspberry Sauce. Combine the raspberries, water and sugar in a small pot and heat to simmer.
Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes. After the mixture is done simmering, strain out the raspberry seeds and discard them. Afterwards, combine water and corn starch in a small bowl.
Pour into the strained raspberry sauce and return the mixture to the stove top to heaten and thicken. Finally, pour the Raspberry Syrup over your Chocolate Popovers and serve warm! These Popovers are such a huge hit in our house, Mr. Maebell and I cleared them out in two days!
How to Store and Reheat Chocolate Popovers with Raspberry Syrup
If you miraculously happen to have leftovers, these popovers are a breeze to store. Simply place in an airtight container (do not layer them, as they could press into each other) and leave on the counter. They will stay fresh for 2-3 days.
For the Raspberry Syrup, place in a glass jar or plastic container with an airtight lid and put into the fridge. This Syrup will stay good for 3-4 days.
To reheat, place a Popover on a microwave safe plate and heat for 15 second intervals until your desired temperature is met. For the Raspberry Syrup, place in a small bowl and warm in ten second increments or heat on the stove top, whichever you prefer.

Awww, I’m kinda jealous. I don’t have any girlfriends from childhood anymore that I live near or am in touch with. It sounds like you guys made the most out of your visit!
Love these popovers. They’re so perfect. Chocolate and raspberry is the best combo!
Oh Annie, what a sweet story! I know, childhood friends can seem so close, yet so far away! And it starts becoming especially strange when people start having kids – though I do have to say I’m the first to have a family, so I’m kind of in the opposite position there. I would have resorted to chocolate as well, especially if it comes packaged in such gorgeous popovers!
These popovers look fabulous- I hope I have that relationship with my childhood best friend when I’m a little older 🙂
what a sweet story Annie, childhood friends are the best. I have 2 and I will be seeing them in 2 weeks, can’t wait! love these popovers,
I love sweet friendships like that! Life brings you in all different directions, but when you’re together it’s like nothing has changed. These popovers look incredible, Annie! What a perfect combination of flavors. And these photos are gorgeous!
Those are definitely the best kind of friendships! I haven’t lived in the same place as my childhood best friend in over 10 years, but every time I do see her it’s as if nothing has changed and no time has passed. <3 These popovers look so delicious!! Love the chocolate and raspberry combo!!
Oh my goodness these popovers look AMAZING! And that raspberry syrup?!? I need one of these now!
Such a nice story! Those kinds of friends are the best kinds 🙂 so nice to just be able to pick up wherever you left off, when when you haven’t seen each other in ages. Also, these popovers are so gorgeous! I love that raspberry sauce.
I would eat that syrup with a spoon! Delicious popovers!
Oh my my favorite flavor combo after steamed spinach topped with a small know of butter or a poached egg… now I am hungry! I have two dear friends I am still in touch with and no matter how long we are separated it is if time has stood still and five minutes have passed!
Quick question is it dark eating chocolate or dark baking chocolate being used in the recipe? I have another dear friend coming for lunch soon and I was looking for a gluten free dessert!
Hi Colleen! I used semi sweet chocolate chips that I finely chopped! 🙂 I hope you enjoy!
Growing up is tough. I always feel the same way when I see old friends.
I am really loving these popovers. Anything with raspberries has my heart!
AND I have spent the last 10 minutes going through your Gin Creek store and wanting everything!!! 😉
How perfect do these popovers look?? I have never tried dessert-style popovers before and I think you just convinced me. 😉
I’d be interested in trying these, but I can’t get access to Bisquick, gluten-free or not. Have you tried with a substitute?
Hi there, I sure haven’t, I’ve only made them as written. I would imagine an all purpose flour would be a good substitute. 🙂
