Kiwi Christmas Tree Chocolates Ingredients & Mold
Kiwis: High in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, providing a refreshing and naturally sweet filling.
Dark Chocolate: Rich in antioxidants, iron, and magnesium, and a heart-healthy choice when using chocolate that’s 70% or higher.
Silicone Tree Mold: This is the mold I use. You can find it on Amazon.
Tips For Making Perfect Kiwi Christmas Tree Chocolates
Chop Kiwi Small: This helps the kiwi fit better in the mold and get coated evenly by the chocolate.
Use High-Quality Dark Chocolate: For the best flavor and health benefits, opt for chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa.
Freeze in Silicone Molds: Silicone makes it easy to pop the chocolates out cleanly without breaking them. This is the mold I use.
FAQs
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, milk chocolate will work as well, but dark chocolate is recommended for a healthier option and deeper flavor.
How long can these chocolates be stored?
These kiwi chocolates can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month. Just let them sit out a few minutes before enjoying.
Can I use other fruits instead of kiwi?
Absolutely! Berries, mango, or pineapple chunks can also be used for a fruity, tropical twist. I use kiwi to keep the tree green, but really any small pieces of fruit work!
