Ingredients
  

6 ripe kiwis

1 cup dark chocolate chips (milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter flavor)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for a creamier texture)

Sea salt (for garnish)

Parchment paper

Instructions
 

Prepare the Kiwis: Start by peeling each kiwi carefully to remove the skin. Slice the kiwis into rounds, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Once sliced, arrange the kiwi rounds neatly on a plate.

    Freeze the Kiwis: Transfer the plate of kiwi slices to the freezer. Allow them to freeze for about 1 hour, or until the slices are completely solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with the coconut oil, if you're using it. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir the chocolate after each interval until it is fully melted and smooth without any lumps.

        Dip the Kiwis: Take the frozen kiwi slices out of the freezer. Using a fork, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to let any excess chocolate drip off, making sure each piece is evenly covered.

          Set on Parchment: Lay the chocolate-dipped kiwi slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over each slice before the chocolate sets.

            Freeze Again: Once all the kiwi slices are coated, put the baking sheet back in the freezer for an additional 30 minutes. This will allow the chocolate to harden completely.

              Serve: After the chocolate has set, enjoy the chocolate-dipped frozen kiwis right away! Alternatively, you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks for a delightful treat later on.
