Description
Chocolate-covered oranges are a must-try delight that combines the refreshing taste of citrus with the rich flavor of chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large navel oranges
- 8 ounces dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon almond oil
- Flaky sea salt, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the oranges under cool water, then dry them with a clean cloth.
- Slice the oranges into rounds, about a quarter-inch thick, and remove any seeds you encounter.
- In a heatproof bowl, mix the dark chocolate chips with almond oil.
- Melt the mixture in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until it becomes silky and smooth, which should take around 1 to 2 minutes.
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- Take each orange slice and immerse it in the melted chocolate, ensuring a generous coating.
- Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the slice onto the lined tray.
- If you like, sprinkle a touch of flaky sea salt on top of each slice for a savory contrast.
- Once all the slices are dipped, transfer the tray to the refrigerator for about half an hour, allowing the chocolate to harden completely.
- These delightful cocoa-dipped citrus treats can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk or white chocolate, for a unique flavor.
- For added crunch, consider topping the chocolate with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of toasted coconut before it sets.
