Instructions
 

Prepare fruits

  • Cut the pineapples, strawberries, green apples in similar size, with a knife. Using a cookie cutter lends extra special shapes to these delicious bites.

Melt chocolate

  • In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate chips of your choice. You can even microwave the chocolate chips in a 30 sec increment until mushy and then just keep stirring. The rest of the chocolate chips will melt with residual heat.

Assembly

  • Dip the strawberry and green apple slices on one side in the melted chocolate. Put these slices, chocolate side up on a plate with parchment paper. Stick them in the freezer for 20 min.
  • Now layer the fruits, starting with pineapple slice on the bottom, followed by strawberry, then green apple slice that are layered with chocolate. Place another pineapple slice on the top. Use a toothpick poked into a blueberry or raspberry or blackberry or a grape, to hold the fruit slices together.
  • Enjoy them right away or save in the fridge until ready to consume. Make them by the dozen, as they will be gone very soon, once served.

Notes

If you are not keen on chocolate, go ahead skip it and add nut butter of your choice. Or just enjoy stacked up fruit.
For elevated flavor, grill the pineapple slices before stacking the fruits.
You can even use mango slices in combination with pineapple. For even more exotic combination add a slice of dragon fruit in the middle.
