In recent months, social networks have been submerged by a treat that, in its simplicity, has managed to conquer thousands of people in no time. Let’s talk about the Franuí, raspberries covered with a double layer of chocolate. The curious name, the inviting aspect and the promise of an exceptional taste made them a real trend. But there is a problem: they are really difficult to find! What are the shops or supermarkets who sell them? Giving up the Franuí now seems to have become a real treasure hunt.
What are the Franuís
The Franuí, the delicious raspberries covered with chocolate, originate from Argentina. Their story begins in Patagonia, where an Italian family business has shared its artisan chocolate recipe, giving life to this delicacy. The Frambuesas, grown in the Patagonian region, are selected by hand at the right time of ripening and then immersed in two layers of chocolate, creating a perfect balance between the acidity of the fruit and the sweetness of chocolate.
Franuí are available in different variations that combine fresh raspberries with different types of chocolate:
In both cases they are products frozen. Before consumption, it is recommended to defrost them at room temperature for about an hour. Once defrosted, they can be kept in the refrigerator and consumed within five days; It is important not to recognize them.
In recent years, the Franuí have conquered the international market, expanding to different European countries, including Italy.
Many discovered them on Instagram and Tiktok, where Food Creators and enthusiasts talk about it as a real drug. The videos with the tasting of the Franuí are numerous but the boom of popularity, if on the one hand it has generated an increase in curiosity, on the other has also created a certain frustration, as it is not easy at all.
Precisely because of this difficulty, many home recipes were also born to make raspberries covered with chocolate similar to the Franuí. The simplest version? Frozen raspberries, a double dip in the chocolate (first darkness, then to milk), and away in the freezer. A creative and accessible solution, but those who have tasted the originals guarantees: the real frans are another thing.
