Ingredients
  

4 medium navel oranges

8 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)

2 tablespoons coconut oil

Sea salt, for garnish (optional)

Zest of 1 orange (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Oranges: Start by washing the navel oranges thoroughly under cool water. Pat them dry. Cut each orange into 8 equal wedges. Remove any seeds if present.

    Freeze the Wedges: Place the orange wedges in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until the wedges are frozen solid.

      Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

        Dip the Oranges: Once the oranges are frozen, take them out of the freezer. Dip each orange wedge halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

          Garnish and Set: Place the dipped orange wedges back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt or a bit of orange zest on top of the chocolate before it hardens. Repeat with all orange wedges.

            Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet back in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.

              Serve: Once set, transfer the frozen chocolate-dipped oranges to a serving platter. Enjoy these refreshing treats immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
