Ingredients
  

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1/4 cup shredded coconut (choose unsweetened or sweetened based on your preference)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pistachios)

Optional: Sea salt for a light sprinkle

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by peeling and coring the fresh pineapple. Cut the fruit into 1-inch cubes. If fresh pineapple isn’t available, you can use pre-frozen pineapple chunks as an alternative for this recipe.

    Freeze the Pineapple: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly spread out the pineapple cubes. Place them in the freezer and allow to freeze for approximately 1-2 hours, or until the pineapple is completely solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval. Continue until the chocolate is fully melted and achieves a smooth consistency.

        Dip the Pineapple: Take the frozen pineapple cubes from the freezer. Dip each cube into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. Use a fork to lift each piece out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.

          Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle shredded coconut or chopped nuts onto the chocolate-covered pineapple. If desired, add a light sprinkle of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

            Freeze Again: Arrange the chocolate-dipped pineapple back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has fully set and is firm to the touch.

              Serve: Your Tropical Chocolate Dipped Pineapple Delights are now ready to be enjoyed! You can serve them directly from the freezer, or for later enjoyment, store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
