Hey guys. Someone posted a recipe online for chocolate dipped kiwi on a stick. Which caused me to think of the pineapple I have at home, white chocolate, macadamia nuts, and coconut... on a stick.
Does anyone know of any reason why white chocolate would not set around pineapple? I know pineapple tends to be a juicier fruit, do you think this would cause a problem? I really want to try this tonight, and would appreciate any feedback.

Fresh pineapple is no problem (I have dipped it in dark chocolate!). Just blot with a paper towel and go. Canned would likely be problematic since it is *so* wet.0

Thanks, I'm definitely going to try this. My co-workers will reap the rewards (or failures should they not turn out).0

Your only challenge might be that white chocolate is not actually chocolate - so it behaves differently from dark chocolate or milk chocolate - can also be impacted by the relative acidity of the fruit... if it is a challenge with the first piece (as far as sticking goes), reheat the chocolate & add a bit of olive oil - mix until silky - then dip again... should work - good luck! i've found that dipping fruit in chocolate helps me to get my sweets fix without diving head-first into the Halloween candy. :flowerforyou:0

Try it with white almond bark.0

Biggest thing is White Chocolate melts differently - if you're doing it with chips, Nestles melts well, Ghirardelli's just beacomes a grainy mess, melting candy disks work great if you have/can get them.0

Also it may not set because fresh pineapple has an enzyme called bromelain, which breaks down proteins. I dont know for sure it would cause it to not set, because chocolate is mostly fat and sugar.0
