Ingredients

4 ripe kiwis

1 cup dark chocolate chips (or your choice of chocolate)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a smoother chocolate consistency)

Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Parchment paper (to line the baking sheet)

Instructions

Prepare the Kiwis: Start by carefully peeling the kiwis. Cut each kiwi into 1/2-inch thick rounds; you should yield about 5-6 slices from each kiwi, resulting in approximately 20-24 slices in total.

Freeze the Kiwi Slices: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the kiwi slices in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they do not overlap. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the kiwis freeze for at least 1-2 hours until they are completely solid.

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil (if you choose to use it). Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each interval. Continue until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth, and well combined.

Dip the Kiwi: After the kiwi slices have frozen, take them out of the freezer. Immerse each slice halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Work quickly to ensure the kiwis stay frozen.

Add Sea Salt: Return each dipped kiwi slice to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets. Complete this process for all the kiwi slices.

Final Freeze: Once all the slices are dipped and garnished with sea salt, place the baking sheet back in the freezer for at least 30 more minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden completely.

Serve: After the chocolate coating has set and hardened, your delightful Chocolate Dipped Frozen Kiwi is ready to enjoy! Serve them immediately for the best experience, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
