Ingredients

2 large navel oranges

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Sea salt (to taste)

Optional toppings: crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or sprinkles

Instructions

Prepare the Oranges: Start by thoroughly washing the oranges. Slice them into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Remove any seeds and lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes until the oranges are firm.

Melt the Chocolate: While the oranges are freezing, prepare the chocolate dip. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Dip the Oranges: Remove the frozen orange slices from the freezer. Using a fork or a kitchen tongs, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, coating it generously and allowing any excess to drip off.

Season and Top: Once dipped, place the chocolate-covered oranges back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each slice and add any optional toppings like crushed pistachios, shredded coconut, or colorful sprinkles for an extra touch of fun.

Freeze Again: Return the baking sheet to the freezer and let the dipped oranges set for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully hardened.

Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is set, your Frozen Chocolate Dipped Oranges are ready to be enjoyed. Serve immediately for the best texture, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for a quick treat later!
