Easy Chocolate-Covered Orange Recipe
These Orange Segments Dipped in Dark Chocolate are a perfect blend of citrusy zest and deep cocoa flavor. The sweet and tangy oranges contrast beautifully with the slightly bitter chocolate, making each bite an explosion of taste.
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional for a smoother chocolate)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oranges: Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. Pat them dry gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Segments: Dip each orange segment into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped segments on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate-covered oranges while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
