Chocolate Dipped Kiwi Pops
Do you eat Kiwi fruit?? It’s really good. Once you get the furry stuff off, the inside is yummy. Kiwi is perfect for a summertime salad or just for snacking. I have a great way for you to get friends, family and kiddos to enjoy Kiwi, if they snub their nose to this tasty fruit.
Just dip it into chocolate. Jason and I made these Kiwi Pops and they came out so darn cute. I just had to share this idea. We are seeing lots of fruit in stores right now and this is a perfect way to spruce up an ordinary fruit.
You can find the pop straws at craft stores or even online over at amazon.
INGREDIENTS
4 Kiwi Fruit
1 cup Melting Chocolate
20 Lollipop sticks
chocolate dipped kiwi
DIRECTIONS
Peel and slice Kiwi into thick (between 1/4″ and 1/2″) slices.
Insert stick in each slice and place on parchment or wax paper and freeze for several hours.
Heat Chocolate by microwaving for 30 seconds stirring and repeating until melted. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
You will need to work with one pop at a time while they are completely frozen (no moisture). Moisture may cause your choclate to sieze up (clump).
Dip pop in chocolate and use spoon (if necessary) to coat completely. Gently shake off excess. Chocolate will set almost immediately.
Return to parchment and place in freezer to set up.
You can optionally drizzle with white chocolate by heating in microwave as described above, transferring to zipper bag, clipping corner and drizzling a small line back and forth across each pop.
