Easy Mandarin Chocolate Bark
Ingredients
- 3 pcs Mandarins
- 80 g 80% Dark Chocolate
- 1 tsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave with the coconut oil
- Add the peeled mandarin segments into a bowl.
- Pour the chocolate on top and stir until mandarin segments are coated
- Spread on a plate lined with parchment paper
- Let set in the fridge for 30-45 minutes
- Cut into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Can be made a day ahead if planning to serve at a dinner party. Will keep fresh in the fridge for 3 days.
- Use segments of other citrus from the orange family if mandarins are unavailable.
- Ensure the mandarins or whatever citrus you’re using is seedless unless there’s no-fuss people enjoying the dessert. Of course, be extra aware when serving this to young children as we don’t want unexpected bitter solids.
- Keep the mandarins at room temperature otherwise the melted chocolate will start to set after pouring and not give enough time to form the shape of the bark consistently.
- Forming the bark has to be done swiftly while the chocolate is warm and spreadable.
- Lay the bark on parchment paper for the ease of peeling the bark after it is set.
- The recipe is freezer friendly and will keep in freezer for up to a month in an air-tight container.
- The recipe can be adapted to add chopped nuts or freeze-dried berries over the chocolate before it’s set.
- If using a knife to cut the bark into bite size pieces, make sure it’s a sharp one to easily slide through the chocolate and mandarin.
