Ingredients
  

4 ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1 cup dark chocolate chips (feel free to substitute with milk chocolate if desired)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, helps for a smoother melting process)

1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as almonds or pistachios for added crunch)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Popsicle sticks or small wooden skewers for easy handling

Instructions
 

Prep the Kiwis: Carefully peel the kiwis and slice them into rounds about 1/2-inch thick. Ensure the slices are thick enough to maintain their structure while freezing; this will help them stay together once frozen.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring well in between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be cautious not to overheat.

      Dip the Kiwis: Take each kiwi slice and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate. Hold it over the bowl for a moment to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. A fork or skewer can assist you in this step for a cleaner dip.

        Add Toppings: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the crushed nuts and unsweetened shredded coconut over the chocolate-covered section of the kiwi slice. Press down gently to ensure that the toppings stick well.

          Insert Sticks: Carefully place a popsicle stick or wooden skewer into the bottom of each kiwi slice, pushing it in far enough to secure it but not so deep that it pierces through the other side.

            Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the kiwi pops on it in a single layer. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the pops are completely firm.

              Serve: Once fully frozen, remove the pops from the parchment paper. Enjoy immediately for the best texture, or store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
