Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup pineapple, diced
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all the fruits. Rinse the mixed berries under cool running water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into quarters. Place the cleaned berries in a large mixing bowl.
- Next, take the banana, peel it, and slice it into thin rounds. Add the banana slices to the bowl with the mixed berries.
- Now, take the pineapple. If using a fresh pineapple, peel, core, and dice it into bite-sized pieces. If using canned pineapple, drain it well. Add the diced pineapple to the bowl with the other fruits.
- Gently toss all the fruits together in the bowl, being careful not to mash the berries or bananas. Set the fruit salad aside while you prepare the chocolate sauce.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total.
- Once the chocolate sauce is ready, drizzle it generously over the fruit salad in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or large spoon to gently fold the chocolate into the fruit, ensuring an even distribution without breaking the fruit.
- To serve, divide the fruit salad into individual bowls or plates. Garnish each serving with a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- Your Breakfast Fruit Salad with Chocolate Sauce is now ready to enjoy! Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of fresh fruits and rich chocolate.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Fruits: For the best flavor, select ripe and seasonal fruits. Fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries will elevate your salad.
- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the fruit salad in advance. Just keep the fruits in an airtight container in the refrigerator and add the chocolate sauce right before serving to keep everything fresh.
- Customize Your Fruits: Feel free to mix in your favorite fruits or whatever you have on hand. Apples, peaches, or even citrus fruits can add a delightful twist.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: When melting the chocolate chips and coconut oil, do it in short intervals to avoid burning. Stir well to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Garnish for Presentation: Enhance your fruit salad with a sprinkle of chopped nuts or a dollop of yogurt for added texture and flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the salad right after preparation for the best taste and texture. The chocolate sauce is most delicious when freshly drizzled!
