Ingredients
Fruit Ingredients
- 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 Topping
- 1 bar of 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—starting with strawberry, then orange, pineapple, banana, and kiwi. Place the assembled skewers on a large plate or a baking pan lined with parchment or wax paper to keep them stable and prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate: Break the dark 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 fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle Chocolate and Add Salt: Carefully drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit skewers. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top to enhance the flavors.
- Set the Chocolate: Transfer the plate with the fruit kabobs to the freezer and let them chill for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, the skewers are ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
- Fruit kabobs are best eaten fresh and will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- If you prefer not to use dark chocolate, serve the fruit skewers with vanilla yogurt for dipping or enjoy them plain.
- Feel free to experiment with other fruit varieties or dipping sauces to customize your fruit skewers.
