Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 6 strawberries, hulled
- 1 orange, peeled, segmented and cut in half
- 1/2 of a ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks)
- 1 banana, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 kiwi fruits, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 bar semi-sweet or dark chocolate, vegan or dairy free if desired
- Optional: flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Skewers: Arrange the prepared fruit pieces onto wooden skewers in rainbow order: strawberry, orange, pineapple, banana, kiwi. Place the finished skewers on a large plate or on a baking pan lined with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate bar into small pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate Over Skewers: Using a spoon or fork, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the fruit skewers. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavor.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the plate with the chocolate-drizzled fruit skewers into the freezer for 5 minutes or until the chocolate hardens and sets. Once firm, the skewers are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh fruits for the best flavor and vibrant colors.
- To keep the chocolate drizzle vegan or dairy-free, choose appropriate chocolate bars labeled accordingly.
- If you don't have a microwave, melt the chocolate gently in a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness of the fruit and chocolate.
- These skewers are perfect for parties, kids’ snacks, or a quick, healthy dessert.
