📝 Ingredients
- 4 kiwis (about 90 g each)
- 60 g dark chocolate, 70% cocoa
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 15 g unsalted roasted peanuts
- 10 g desiccated coconut
- 1 lime (for the zest)
- 1 pinch fleur de sel
🍴 Utensils
- Paring knife
- Wooden lolly sticks
- Baking tray or large plate
- Baking paper
- Small microwave-safe bowl
📖 Steps
- Peel the kiwis with a paring knife, removing as little flesh as possible. Trim the ends, then cut each kiwi into 3 thick slices of about 1.5 cm, making 12 slices: any thinner and they would break on the stick.
- Pat the slices dry on both sides with kitchen paper: chocolate won't stick to damp fruit. Push a stick 2 to 3 cm into the edge of each one and place them on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Freeze for 1 hour, until the slices are hard. Meanwhile, finely chop the peanuts with a knife and mix them on a plate with the coconut and the grated lime zest.
- Break the chocolate into pieces in a small bowl with the coconut oil. Melt in the microwave in 20 s bursts on medium power, stirring between each, until smooth. Leave to cool for 3 min: if it's too hot, it will slide off the fruit.
- Take the kiwis out of the freezer. Dip each slice halfway into the chocolate, tilting the bowl, or coat it with a spoon, let it drip for 2 s, then immediately press it into the coconut-peanut mixture: the chocolate sets quickly on contact with the frozen fruit.
- Lay the sticks back on the baking paper, sprinkle with a pinch of fleur de sel and return to the freezer for at least 30 min. Take the kiwis out 5 min before eating so they aren't too hard to bite into.
💡 FitBot tip: They keep for 1 month in the freezer in an airtight container, separated with baking paper. The same method works with banana slices or whole strawberries.
