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
Directions
Step 1
Wash all the fruits thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking properly.
Step 2
Hull the strawberries by removing their stems. Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds approximately 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate-covered fruit from sticking.
Step 4
Break or chop the baking chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Place the coated fruit onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 8
Repeat the process with all the fruit pieces, working quickly while the chocolate is still warm.
Step 9
Once all the fruit is coated, place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate sets and hardens.
Step 10
Serve immediately or keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy your delicious chocolate covered fruit!
