Ingredients

1 pineapple cored and peeled
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ tablespoon coconut oil for melting semi-sweet chocolate
¼ cup baker's white chocolate
1 teaspoon coconut oil for melting white chocolate
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

Line two baking trays with a sheet of parchment paper and set aside.
Slice pineapple into approximately ½ inch thick wedges. Gently pat each piece dry with a piece of paper towel. Once dry, place a skewer in each piece.
To melt your semi-sweet chocolate, add chocolate chips and ½ tablespoon coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between. Repeat until the chocolate is fully melted.
Dip each pineapple piece in the melted chocolate, using a spoon to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Place in the freezer for about 5 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
To toast your coconut, spread coconut evenly on one of the baking trays. Place in the oven and broil at 500F for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Melt white chocolate by combining white chocolate and 1 teaspoon coconut oil and repeating the process outlined above.
Drizzle with white chocolate and sprinkle with toasted coconut. Place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to fully harden and enjoy.
