Fresh strawberries, orange, pineapple, banana, and kiwi make these colorful rainbow fruit skewers a cheerful, easy-to-assemble treat. Finish them with a drizzle of melted chocolate and a pinch of flaky sea salt for a simple dessert or snack that’s ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Fruit Skewers

  • 6 strawberries, hulled
  • 1 orange, peeled, segmented, and cut in half
  • ½ ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1½ cups)
  • 1 banana, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 2 kiwi fruit, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Wooden skewers, as needed

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 bar semi-sweet or dark chocolate (about 3½ ounces or 100 g), vegan or dairy-free if desired
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Assemble the skewers.

    Thread the fruit onto wooden skewers. For a rainbow effect, arrange the pieces in this order: strawberry, orange, pineapple, banana, and kiwi. Place the skewers on a large plate or a parchment- or wax-paper-lined baking pan.

  2. Melt the chocolate.

    Break the chocolate bar into pieces and put them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

  3. Drizzle and chill.

    Drizzle the melted chocolate over the fruit skewers and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired. Place the plate in the freezer for about 5 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens, then serve.

Notes

  • Cut the fruit into pieces that are large enough to thread onto skewers without splitting.
  • Use ripe but firm fruit so the pieces hold their shape.
  • Microwave the chocolate in short intervals and stir well to help prevent it from scorching.
  • For a dairy-free or vegan version, choose chocolate labeled vegan or dairy-free.
  • Keep the skewers refrigerated if you are not serving them right away.
