Combining crisp waffle cones, a luscious chocolate coating, and a colorful array of fresh fruit, they’re a delightful treat perfect for any occasion or a quick afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 12 waffle cones
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 ripe banana, sliced (optional)
- 1 kiwi, peeled and diced (optional)
- Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the cones: Hold a waffle cone by its bottom and dip the open rim into the melted chocolate, rotating to coat about an inch down. If desired, immediately sprinkle with nuts, sprinkles, or coconut before the chocolate sets.
- Allow chocolate to set: Place the dipped cones upright in a cone holder, a tall glass, or on a parchment-lined baking sheet until the chocolate is firm. This can take 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or you can speed it up by placing them in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Prepare the fruit: While the chocolate is setting, gently wash and prepare all your chosen fruits. Slice strawberries, bananas, and dice kiwi if using.
- Fill the cones: Once the chocolate is firm, carefully fill each cone with your colorful assortment of fresh fruit.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your easy, delightful dessert!
