Ingredients

  • 1 large pineapple
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoons coconut oil
  • optional toppings: chopped nuts, desiccated coconut, melted white chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, or sea salt

Instructions

  • Peel the pineapple and remove the core. Slice the pineapple into rounds.
  • Microwave Method: Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  • Double Boiler Method: Fill a pot with a couple of inches of water and bring to a simmer. Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pot, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water. Add chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Use a fork or skewer to dip half of each piece of pineapple into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated.
  • Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the chocolate-covered pineapple on the prepared baking sheet.
  • If using, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate-covered pineapple pieces before the chocolate sets.
  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Ensure the pineapple slices are dry before dipping them in chocolate. Pat them down with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the chocolate adhere better and set nicely.
When melting the chocolate, avoid overheating as it can become clumpy. Using a double boiler can give you more control over the heat compared to a microwave.
If the chocolate seems too thick when melting, add a bit more coconut oil to thin it out. This makes dipping easier and gives a smoother finish.
