Chocolate Covered Pineapple Rings
These easy chocolate covered pineapple rings are made with fresh pineapple dipped in melted chocolate and chilled until set. This 3-ingredient, no-bake recipe takes 10 minutes to prep. It's a refreshing, healthy dessert with an easy dairy-free option!
Ingredients
- 1 large ripe pineapple, peeled, 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
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of nut butter, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prep your tray. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Slice the pineapple. Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into 1-inch rings. Pat each ring dry with a paper towel.
- Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Don't overheat or it will burn.
- Dip the rings. Dip each pineapple ring into the chocolate, leaving some pineapple exposed if you like.
- Add toppings. Sprinkle with toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill until set. Place the rings on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until the chocolate sets.
- Serve and store. Serve cold. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Pineapple: Fresh is best. Canned works if you drain and pat it very dry; I don't recommend frozen, since it releases too much water as it thaws and the chocolate won't stick.
Chocolate: Dark, semi-sweet, milk, or white all work. Chips need the coconut oil to melt smooth; a chopped bar coats cleanest.
Vegan: Use dairy-free chocolate.
Storage: Airtight, up to 3 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. Thaw frozen rings about 10 minutes before eating.
One serving is one ring.
