Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 Canned lychees (drained)
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa)
- 50 grams Candied ginger
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 50 grams White chocolate (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Drain the canned lychees and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Place them on a plate and set aside.
Chop the dark chocolate and candied ginger into small pieces. Reserve some finely chopped candied ginger for garnish, if desired.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth.
Stir in the coconut oil to the melted chocolate to achieve a shiny and smooth consistency.
Using a toothpick or skewer, dip each lychee into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated lychees on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle each lychee with a pinch of the reserved candied ginger pieces for added texture and flavor.
If using white chocolate for drizzle, melt the white chocolate following the same method and use a small spoon or piping bag to drizzle it over the chocolate-coated lychees for an elegant finish.
Refrigerate the lychees for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy this unique fusion of chocolate, ginger, and lychee flavors!
