A fun and festive dessert perfect for parties or celebrations. Easy to make and loved by all. These chocolate-dipped fruit skewers are a perfect combination of freshness and indulgence.
Ingredients:
2 bananas, sliced into thick rounds
12 strawberries, hulled
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup grapes
200g dark or milk chocolate, chopped
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for a glossy finish)
Wooden skewers
Optional Toppings:
Crushed nuts
Shredded coconut
Sprinkles
Method:
Prepare the Fruit: Wash and dry all fruit thoroughly. Slice bananas and pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Skewers: Thread the fruit onto wooden skewers in alternating patterns for variety and colour.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Add coconut oil for a shinier finish.
Dip the Skewers: Dip each skewer partially into the melted chocolate, covering about half of the fruit pieces. Let excess chocolate drip off.
Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings over the chocolate-dipped fruit.
Set: Place the skewers on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Serve: Arrange on a platter and serve immediately, or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Pro Tip: Use a mix of fruits like kiwi, mango, watermelon or blueberries for added variety and colour.
