Ingredients
  

1 ripe pineapple

1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa or higher for a rich flavor)

2 tablespoons coconut oil (to enhance the chocolate’s shine and texture)

Sea salt (optional, for a savory contrast)

Chopped nuts (such as almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts for garnish, optional)

Parchment paper (for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple: Begin by peeling the pineapple, ensuring all the skin is removed. Cut the pineapple into your desired shape, either bite-sized chunks or rings, for easy snacking.

    Freeze the Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced apart to prevent sticking. Place the tray in the freezer and allow the pineapple to freeze for about 2-3 hours, or until fully solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, approximately 1-2 minutes total.

        Dip the Pineapple: Once the pineapple pieces are frozen, remove them from the freezer. Carefully dip each piece into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.

          Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, feel free to sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or add your choice of chopped nuts on top of the chocolate-dipped pineapple for an extra crunch and flavor.

            Return to Freezer: Place the chocolate-coated pineapple bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Return them to the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate sets completely.

              Serve: After the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the bites from the parchment paper. Serve immediately for a delightful treat, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks, enjoying them as needed!
