Equipment
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 peeled and cored pineapple
- 1 2/3 cups chopped dark chocolate
- Optional toppings: fresh lime zest, shredded coconut, or finely chopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Slice 1 peeled and cored pineapple evenly into six rings.
- Pat the pineapple rings dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Add 1 2/3 cups chopped dark chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, then heat at 20 second increments, stirring in between, until melted. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a pot on the stove set to low heat, stirring constantly until melted.
- Add one of the pineapple rings to the bowl of melted chocolate, then use two forks to gently rotate and coat the ring in chocolate.
- Use the forks to lift the pineapple ring up out of the bowl and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl before placing the pineapple on a sheet pan or large plate lined with parchment paper.
- Add the optional toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Repeat steps 4-6 with the rest of the pineapple.
- Place the sheet pan or plate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
