Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple cut, cored, and sliced into 1-inch rings
  • 6 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips or bar (dairy-free chocolate if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • Topping ideas: shredded coconut or coconut flakes, crushed nuts, a drizzle of nut butter, mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Cut, core, and sliced the pineapple into 1-inch-sized rings.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals. Stir after each interval. Repeat the 20-second intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. Do not overheat the chocolate it will burn!
  4. Dip each pineapple ring into the chocolate - I like dipping it ¾ of the way, leaving some fresh pineapple exposed.
  5. Sprinkle with coconut, your favorite crushed nuts, sea salt, or an extra drizzle of chocolate.
  6. Add each one to the lined baking sheet and place the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the chocolate sets.
  7. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Cut your pineapple into rings, spears, or cubes. All work! So if cutting your pineapple into rings is too much, then cut it into spears and use a popsicle stick or skewer to dip and serve the chocolate-covered pineapple.
  • Canned Pineapple: I recommend using fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture; however, you can use canned pineapple rings. Drain the can and pat the pineapple rings dry with a paper towel before dipping them in chocolate. If you don’t do this, the chocolate will not stick to the sides of the pineapple.
  • Frozen Pineapple: I do NOT reccomend using it.
  • Vegan: You can make this recipe vegan by using dairy-free chocolate.
  • White Chocolate: You can use dark, milk, semi-sweet, or white chocolate for this recipe.
  • Storing: For best results, keep any leftover chocolate-covered pineapple rings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. If enjoying from frozen, I recommend letting the rings thaw in the fridge or at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.
  • For the nutritional fact: one serving is one ring.
