Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Oranges
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the oranges and separate them into individual segments. Pat the segments dry with a paper towel to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Dip each orange segment halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Place the dipped segments onto the prepared baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts over the chocolate portion of the oranges, if desired.
Repeat the dipping and garnishing process with all the orange segments.
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set for about 20 minutes, or until firm.
Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the chocolate-covered oranges from the refrigerator and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
