Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Dip
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut or crushed nuts (optional, for garnish)
Fruit Filling
- 6 waffle cones
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and diced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Dip: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Cone Rims: Dip the rims of each waffle cone into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. For added texture and flavor, roll the chocolate-coated rims in shredded coconut or crushed nuts if desired.
- Set the Chocolate: Place the dipped cones upright in a glass or muffin tin and refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set and hardened.
- Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple chunks, and banana slices. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup if using, and gently toss to combine all the fruits evenly.
- Fill the Cones: Just before serving, spoon the mixed fruit gently into each waffle cone to ensure they remain crisp and fresh.
- Serve: Serve the cones immediately and enjoy this refreshing, chocolaty fruit treat.
Notes
- To make vegan, substitute dairy-free chocolate chips and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- These cones are best served fresh; fill them just before eating to keep the cones crisp.
- You can customize the fruit mix by using any seasonal fruits you prefer or have on hand.
