Ingredients
Fruits
- 6 strawberries, hulled
- 1 orange, peeled, segmented and cut in half
- ½ of a ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1 ½ cups pineapple chunks)
- 1 banana, cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 bar of semi-sweet or dark chocolate, vegan or dairy free if desired
- Optional: flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit Skewers: Arrange the fruit pieces on wooden skewers in rainbow order, starting with strawberry, then orange, pineapple, banana, and kiwi. Place the finished skewers on a large plate or a baking pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the chocolate bar into smaller pieces and place into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate and Finish: Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the fruit skewers. If desired, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for an extra flavor touch.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the plate of skewers in the freezer for about 5 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, colorful treat.
