Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 skewers
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (strawberries, bananas, pineapple)
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- Wooden skewers
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry all fresh fruits to ensure no excess moisture remains, which could affect chocolate adhesion.
- Prepare fruits by cutting them into uniform, bite-sized pieces approximately 1-
- 5 inches in size. Ensure strawberries are hulled, bananas are sliced, and pineapple is cut into consistent chunks.
- Soak wooden skewers in cold water for 10 minutes to prevent burning and splintering during preparation.
- Thread fruit pieces onto skewers, alternating different fruits to create a colorful and visually appealing arrangement. Leave a small space at the bottom of each skewer for handling.
- Place assembled fruit skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes to help fruits maintain their shape during chocolate drizzling.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove frozen fruit skewers from freezer and use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle melted chocolate in thin, zigzag patterns across the fruit.
- Return chocolate-drizzled skewers to the freezer for an additional 5 minutes to set the chocolate quickly.
- Transfer skewers to a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 hours.
Tips
- Fruit Selection: Choose ripe but firm fruits that freeze well. Mix colors and textures for visual appeal and varied flavors.
- Moisture is the Enemy: Always pat fruits completely dry before skewering to ensure the chocolate adheres perfectly.
- Skewer Prep: Soaking wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning and makes handling easier.
- Chocolate Drizzling Technique: Use a spoon or piping bag for precise, artistic chocolate lines. Drizzle while fruits are slightly frozen for the best results.
- Serving Hack: Prepare these skewers just before serving for the ultimate fresh and crisp texture. They're perfect for summer parties, kids' treats, or a quick healthy dessert.
- Storage Tip: These skewers can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 hours, making them an ideal make-ahead dessert for spontaneous gatherings.
