Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Pineapple cored and peeled
- 16 ounces dark chocolate chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Toppings
- shredded coconut toasted
- macadamia nuts chopped
- freeze-dried strawberries chopped
Instructions
- Line two sheet pans with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
- Peel the pineapple and slice it into ½-inch rounds. Use a ring cutter to remove the core from each slice. Then, cut the pineapple slices into quarters and skewer each piece.
- Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a narrow, tall cup. Dip the pineapple skewers into the chocolate, covering most of the pineapple while leaving some of the yellow exposed. Transfer to the parchment-lined sheet pans.
- Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate-covered pineapples, then freeze for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
- Use a paper towel to pat the pineapple piece dry so the melted chocolate will stick.
- The best way to remove the pineapple core is with a metal ring cutter.
- Microwave chocolate in 30-second bursts so it doesn't burn.
- Use a tall and narrow cup to dip the pineapple pieces in.
- Apply the toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
