Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large oranges
- 8 ounces dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao), chopped
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the oranges.
- Slice the oranges into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the orange slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if using.
- Dip half of each orange slice into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place the dipped slices back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If desired, immediately sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate.
- Refrigerate the slices for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure the orange slices are completely dry before dipping; moisture will cause the chocolate to seize.
- For a cleaner look, use a fork to drizzle the chocolate over the slices instead of dipping.
