INGREDIENTS:
- One tablespoon Fry’s Cacao Kasha
- Two teaspoons of almond milk
- One teaspoon of maple syrup
- A pinch of vanilla powder or one-eighth teaspoon of vanilla extract
- One mango, washed and peeled
- One peach, washed and sliced
- One pineapple, sliced
- One pear, sliced
- A small amount of chili flakes or cayenne pepper
- One teaspoon of maple syrup
- Half of a fresh lemon, juiced
- Coconut flakes, for serving
- Skewers
INSTRUCTIONS:
- PREPARE THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE: In a small pot, combine Fry’s Cacao Kasha, almond milk, vanilla powder or vanilla extract, and one teaspoon of maple syrup. Heat the mixture, stirring until it becomes a smooth chocolate sauce. Set aside.
- COAT THE FRUIT: Wash and peel the mango, wash the peach, pineapple, and pear. Slice the fruits into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, sprinkle the fruit with a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a hint of spice. Drizzle one teaspoon of maple syrup and the juice of half a fresh lemon over the fruit. Toss the fruit gently to coat it with the spicy-sweet mixture.
- ASSEMBLE THE FRUIT SKEWERS: Thread the coated fruit pieces onto skewers, alternating between the different fruits for a colorful and tasty combination.
- AIR FRY THE FRUIT SKEWERS: Preheat your air fryer to 185°C (365°F). Place the fruit skewers side by side in the air fryer basket. Air fry the skewers for approximately 10 minutes or until they are grilled and slightly caramelized.
- SERVE WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE: While the fruit skewers are cooking, serve the chocolate sauce alongside the skewers. Optionally, sprinkle coconut flakes over the chocolate sauce for added texture and flavor.
TIPS:
- Adjust the level of spiciness in the fruit by adding more or less chili flakes or cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure the fruit pieces are evenly coated with the spicy-sweet mixture for a balanced flavor.
- Feel free to customize the fruit selection based on your preferences or what’s in season.
- You can use wooden or metal skewers for this recipe, but if using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the fruit to prevent them from burning in the air fryer.
- Experiment with different toppings or garnishes like chopped nuts or fresh mint leaves to enhance the presentation and taste of the dessert.
