Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or chunks
- 8 oz dark chocolate (semi-sweet or milk chocolate also works)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for a smoother coating)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple:
- Slice pineapple into ½-inch thick rings or cut into bite-sized chunks.
- Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture (this helps the chocolate stick).
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- (Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate over low heat).
- Stir in coconut oil if using, for a shinier finish.
- Dip the Pineapple:
- Using a fork or skewer, dip each pineapple slice halfway into the melted chocolate.
- Let excess chocolate drip off, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for extra texture.
- Chill & Set:
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Let the pineapple dry completely before dipping to prevent the chocolate from sliding off.
- Try drizzling with white chocolate for an elegant look.
