Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Baking chocolate (semi-sweet or dark)
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 2 pieces Bananas
- 20 pieces Seedless grapes
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
- 20 pieces Toothpicks or skewers
Instructions
Wash all the fruits thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
Hull the strawberries by removing their stems. Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate-covered fruit from sticking.
Break or chop the baking chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the baking chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring well after each until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler on the stovetop.
Using toothpicks or skewers, dip each piece of fruit into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated fruit onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the process with all the fruit pieces, working quickly while the chocolate is still warm.
Once all the fruit is coated, place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets and hardens.
Serve immediately or keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy your delicious chocolate covered fruit!
