Easy Chocolate Coated Mangoes Recipe

Servings 12 Wedges

Equipment

  • A medium tray (metal, plastic or glass) lined with parchment paper
  • Sharpknife for peeling and slicing mangoes

Ingredients

  • 170 g good quality dark chocolate
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 large firm mangoes
  • 2 tbsp crushed pistachio

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Mangoes

  • Wash and peel the mangoes with a sharp knife.
  • Cut the mango cheeks into thick long wedges, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Ensure the slices are thick enough to hold their shape. If too thin, they may break during the coating process.
  • Stick a skewer into each wedge.
  • Place the mango slices on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Put them in the freezer while you prepare the melted chocolate. This will help with the chocolate coating process.

Step2: Melt the Chocolate

  • Break the chocolate into small pieces and place them along with coconut oil in a heatproof bowl.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate while stirring until fully melted. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.

Step3: Coat the Mango Wedges

  • Partially dip each mango slice into the melted chocolate. The longer you dip in melted chocolate, the thicker the coating.
  • Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated slice back onto the parchment-lined tray.
  • Immediately sprinkle with chopped pistachios or any add-in while the chocolate is still moist.
  • Repeat the process for all mango wedges.

Notes

Storage Tips:

Store your chocolate coated mangoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
They can be kept in the freezer in an air-tight container for up to two months.
