Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolate Dipped Oranges
Simple, elegant chocolate-covered orange segments that come together in just 15 minutes. This naturally gluten-free treat requires only oranges and chocolate for a perfect balance of citrus brightness and rich indulgence.
Equipment
- Double Boiler or Microwave-Safe Bowl
- Paper towels
- Small spoon or dipping fork
Ingredients
- 3-4 large navel oranges or 5-6 mandarin oranges
- 8 oz dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate at least 60% cacao
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Peel oranges and separate into individual segments. Remove any excess white pith.
- Pat each orange segment completely dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for the chocolate to adhere properly.
- Melt chocolate using your preferred method: In a double boiler, stir chocolate over simmering water until smooth. In microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until melted.
- Hold each orange segment by one end and dip about ⅔ of it into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped oranges on the prepared parchment paper, leaving space between each piece.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is completely set.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
Notes
Choose oranges with thick skin as they're easier to peel cleanly
Room temperature oranges are easier to work with than cold ones
Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the wet chocolate for a gourmet touch
For extra shine, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil to the melted chocolate
