Description

Delight in this simple yet elegant recipe for Chocolate Covered Orange slices. Juicy orange segments are dipped in creamy dark chocolate and optionally sprinkled with sea salt, offering a perfect balance of tangy citrus and rich sweetness. Ready in just 25 minutes, this treat is perfect for a healthy dessert or snack that satisfies your chocolate cravings with a refreshing twist.

Ingredients

Fruit

  • 2 oranges

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • Dash of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oranges: Wash and thoroughly dry the oranges. Slice each orange into 8 equally sized pieces, either as ¼ inch thick rounds or wedges to ensure uniform chocolate coverage.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps.
  3. Prepare Work Surface: Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the chocolate-covered orange slices.
  4. Dip Orange Slices: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each orange slice in the melted chocolate—either fully or halfway—depending on your preference. Lay each dipped slice carefully on the parchment-lined pan.
  5. Add Finishing Touch: Lightly sprinkle the dipped slices with sea salt if using, to enhance flavor contrast between the sweet chocolate and tangy orange.
  6. Set the Chocolate: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely and sets firmly on the orange slices.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully hardened, serve immediately for a refreshing, irresistible chocolate fruit treat.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure oranges are dry before dipping to help chocolate adhere better.
  • You can substitute dark chocolate chips with milk or white chocolate if preferred, but dark chocolate offers a more balanced flavor with the orange.
  • Use fresh sea salt flakes for the best texture and flavor enhancement.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
