FRESH OR CANNED PINEAPPLE?

Fresh is best. I think canned pineapple pieces will be too soft and could break when handling them. If you decide to use canned pineapple, please let me know in the comments below if it worked.

IS THIS A GLUTEN-FREE SNACK?

Since pineapple is naturally gluten-free and vegan chocolate chips are as well, this treat is a great fit for most diets.

HOW LONG DOES CHOCOLATE-COVERED FRUIT LAST?

Typically lasts about 2-3 days when stored properly in the fridge.

WHAT KNIFE DO YOU USE TO CUT PINEAPPLE?

A sharp chef’s knife or serrated knife. It easily handles the tough outer skin and slices through the fruit cleanly.

CHOCOLATE COVERED PINEAPPLE (VEGAN!)

Description

Chocolate covered pineapple (vegan!) Pineapple on its own? Great. Pineapple dipped in chocolate? Mind-blowingly good. Bonus points: it's so easy to make, with only 3 ingredients needed and it's gluten-free!

Ingredients

Scale

1 pineapple, peeled and cored

1 cup of chocolate chips (vegan, of course!)

1-2 teaspoons coconut oil

Sprinkles

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prep your pineapple: Cut your peeled and cored pineapple into rings or chunks—whatever size makes you feel fancy.

Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s silky smooth. You want that good drizzle-y consistency.

Dip Time Or Spread the Chocolate: Now for the fun part. Dip each piece of pineapple into the melted chocolate. Then place the chocolate-coated pineapple on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For an easier method, use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the pineapple.

Sprinkles: Add sprinkles to your chocolate-dipped pineapple before the chocolate sets.

Chill: Pop your tray into the fridge for about 15-20 minutes or, if you like it frozen, let them chill out in the freezer for up to an hour.

Notes

Spreading Might be Easier: Use a spoon to spread the chocolate over the piece of pineapple. I found it easier doing it this way.

Work quickly: Make sure to dip your pineapple pieces before the chocolate starts to harden.

Use pre-cut store-bought pineapple: Want to save time? Grab some pre-cut pineapple from the store—no peeling or coring necessary! Quick, easy, and just as delicious.

Refrigeration: Store your chocolate-covered pineapple in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. For the best taste and texture, enjoy them within the first 24 hours.
