Ingredients

1 small fresh pineapple sliced into chunks
7 ounces dark chocolate
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Begin by peeling and cutting the fresh pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Start by removing the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and slice off the peel, ensuring you remove the "eyes." Slice the pineapple into rounds, then cut each round into wedges. Finally, cut the wedges into bite-sized chunks. To ensure optimal chocolate adherence, gently pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
1 small fresh pineapple
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate. Stir occasionally until it's smooth and fully melted, taking care not to overheat the chocolate.
7 ounces dark chocolate
Gently insert a wooden stick or skewer into the center of each pineapple chunk.
Dip each pineapple chunk into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring even and thorough coating. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
If desired, immediately sprinkle or roll the freshly dipped pineapple chunk with shredded coconut while the chocolate is still wet. Place them on a tray or plate lined with parchment paper.
½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Transfer the tray of chocolate-covered pineapple chunks to the refrigerator, allowing the chocolate to set and harden, about 20-30 minutes.

Notes

Make in advance: Store the prepared chocolate-covered pineapple chunks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

You can use canned pineapple if needed. While fresh pineapple is recommended for the best taste and texture, you can use canned pineapple chunks. Just make sure to drain them well and pat them dry to remove excess moisture before dipping in chocolate.
