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 for a healthier option or sweetened for a sweeter treat)

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

Sea salt (optional, for a touch of savory contrast)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by carefully peeling and coring the fresh pineapple. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch cubes to ensure uniformity. If fresh pineapple isn't available, you can opt for frozen pineapple chunks, which can be thawed slightly before use.

    Freeze the Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they aren’t touching each other. Place them in the freezer for about 1-2 hours or until they are fully frozen – this step helps the chocolate adhere better.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each session until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, with a glossy sheen.

        Dip the Pineapple: Take the frozen pineapple cubes out of the freezer. One at a time, dip each cube into the melted chocolate, making sure it's completely coated. Utilize a fork or a skewer to lift the pineapple out and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

          Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle shredded coconut and/or chopped nuts onto the chocolate-covered pineapple cubes. Finish with a light sprinkle of sea salt, if desired, to enhance the flavors and create a delightful contrast.

            Freeze Again: Place the decorated chocolate-dipped pineapples back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer and chill for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate coating is firm and set.

              Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, your Tropical Chocolate Dipped Pineapple Delights are ready for indulgence! They are best served immediately from the freezer, but can also be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for later enjoyment.
