Chocolate-Dipped Peaches
Transform fresh peaches into an elegant summer dessert with rich chocolate and your choice of three delicious toppings. Ready in just 15 minutes with minimal cleanup required.
Equipment
- Medium microwave-safe bowl
- Paper towels
- Parchment-Lined Baking Sheet
- Small bowls for toppings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm peaches sliced (skin on)
- ¾ cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Toppings of choice:
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
- Crushed pistachios
- Crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
- Prep the peaches: Wash and dry the peaches. Slice into thin wedges (about ¼-inch thick), keeping the skin on. Use a paper towel to pat each slice dry—this helps the chocolate stick better.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. You can also melt using a double boiler.
- Dip the slices: Dip each peach slice halfway into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle with your topping of choice: coconut flakes, crushed pistachios, or crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Mix and match for variety!
- Set: Place dipped slices on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate or freeze for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
