These scrumptious chocolate-dipped fruits can make a lovely dessert that is also healthy. Additionally, you can also use this chocolate-dipped fruit recipe with slices of your favorite dried fruit, like apricots.
I buy “little” wooden skewers or long wooden toothpicks to slide the chunks of fruit onto, so they are easier to dip and serve.
You can adjust this for the number of people by having about 3 to 5 fruits for each person. If you have 12 people, then make at least 12, but 24 or 36 might be better depending on the meal and the occasion.
You can use this recipe to dip pineapple, fresh strawberries, or oranges. You simply cut the fruits into bite sized pieces so they aren’t too messy and are easier to enjoy.
I recommend purchasing dark chocolate, preferably organic for this recipe, because it’s healthier.
Ingredients
½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
36 pieces of bite-sized fruit (what I use is: strawberries, peeled orange slices, banana cut into 2 -3-inch chunks, peeled and sliced kiwi, pineapple chunks, mango slices, and other fruits you like)
1 1/2 tsp. pure organic, cold-pressed coconut oil
¼ tsp. mineral-rich salt
¼ tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped toasted pistachios (add more to this amount according to the amount of fruit you are dipping.)
Directions
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper.
-
Place the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water and let it melt. Stir, as it warms up, until creamy.
-
Stir in the mineral-rich salt, coconut oil and the vanilla (if you are using it) and blend well.
4. For the chunks of fruit, like pineapple, put them on a toothpick or skewer.
5. Dip half of each piece of fruit into the melted chocolate.6. Allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
7. Then place the dipped fruit on the prepared baking sheet. Once they are on the baking sheet, sprinkle the pistachio pieces over the chocolate for a lovely presentation.
8. Refrigerate the baking sheet until the chocolate is set. This may take about 30 minutes.
