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 (unsweetened or sweetened, based on preference)

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

Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Start by peeling and coring the fresh pineapple, then cut it into 1-inch cubes. If using fresh pineapple is not an option, pineapple chunks can be frozen ahead of time.

    Freeze the Pineapple: Place the pineapple cubes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until they are completely frozen.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

        Dip the Pineapple: Remove the frozen pineapple cubes from the freezer. One at a time, dip each pineapple cube into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift the pineapple out and let the excess chocolate drip off.

          Add Toppings: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle shredded coconut or chopped nuts onto the chocolate-covered pineapple before the chocolate sets. If desired, you can also add a light sprinkle of sea salt for an enhanced flavor.

            Freeze Again: Place the chocolate-dipped pineapples back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer. Freeze for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.

              Serve: Once the chocolate is firm, your Tropical Chocolate Dipped Pineapple Delights are ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately from the freezer or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for later.
