Ingredients
- 2 cups, slightly softened Mango sorbet
- 6 oz Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut oil
- 1/4 cup, for garnish (optional) Toasted shredded coconut
Instructions
- Step 1: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form 1-inch rounds from 2 cups slightly softened mango sorbet and place them evenly spaced on the sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 oz dark chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Step 3: Remove the frozen sorbet bites from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each sorbet bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then place back on the parchment paper.
- Step 4: If desired, immediately sprinkle each dipped sorbet bite with 1/4 cup toasted shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
- Step 5: Return the dipped sorbet bites to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to harden the chocolate coating before serving.
