Ingredients
- 6-8 waffle cones or sugar cones
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit, chopped (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, banana slices, grapes)
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare your fruit: Wash, hull, and chop all fruits into bite-sized pieces suitable for filling the cones. Set aside. If using bananas, chop them last to prevent browning.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Dip the cones: Hold a cone by its tip and carefully dip the open rim into the melted chocolate. Rotate and swirl to coat about 1-2 inches of the rim.
- Add toppings (optional): Immediately after dipping, if desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings (sprinkles, nuts) onto the wet chocolate before it sets.
- Set the chocolate: Place the dipped cones upright in a glass or a mug, or on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing the chocolate to set. You can refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed this up.
- Fill and serve: Once the chocolate has set, fill each cone generously with the prepared fresh fruit. Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful treat!
