Start by gathering all your beautifully washed and prepared fruits. You’ll want them ready to go as you assemble your skewers. Take your wooden skewers and begin by threading a strawberry onto the skewer. I like to place them in rainbow order for a vibrant look. Next, slide on a segment of orange, followed by a chunk of pineapple. The key is to arrange them in a way that showcases the colors and creates a stunning visual.
Continue with a slice of banana and finish off with a piece of kiwi. Each fruit adds its unique flavor and texture, creating a harmonious blend in every bite. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all your fruits, making sure to leave some space at the end of the skewer for easier handling.
Once you’ve arranged all the fruit on the skewers, lay them out on a large plate or a baking pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper. This step helps prevent the fruit from sticking, ensuring it stays intact and beautiful until it’s ready to serve.
Now it’s time to melt your chocolate. Break the dark chocolate bar into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to ensure it melts evenly without burning. You want a smooth, creamy consistency that will drizzle perfectly over your fruit.
Once the chocolate is melted, take your skewers and drizzle the warm chocolate over the top of the fruit kabobs. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control. This step not only adds flavor but also creates a beautiful presentation that will impress your guests!
If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some flaky sea salt over the chocolate drizzle. The salt will enhance the sweetness of the chocolate and make the flavors pop!
To set the chocolate, place your plate of skewers in the freezer for about 5 minutes. This quick chill allows the chocolate to harden, making it easier to enjoy the skewers without any mess.
Once the chocolate has set, your Rainbow Fruit Skewers are ready to serve! Enjoy them fresh or store them in the fridge for a day. They’re a perfect treat for gatherings or a fun snack at home!
As you savor each bite, you’ll taste the juicy freshness of the fruit complemented by the rich chocolate. It's a delightful combination that will leave everyone asking for more!
