Is orange or tangerine and chocolate good?
Yes, combining these two ingredients can be a delicious flavor pairing. The sweet and slightly tart taste of the citrus fruit can complement the rich and slightly bitter taste of the chocolate. This pairing balances flavors and textures that make for a satisfying and indulgent treat. Additionally, both tangerines and chocolate are rich in antioxidants, making them a healthy snack option.
How to make Chocolate-covered Yogurt Tangerine bites?
Peel the tangerines or oranges and separate them into segments. Remove any excess membranes and pat the segments dry with a paper towel.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix yogurt with honey to add some sweetness to the plain taste of yogurt. You can use vegan yogurt for the vegan option.
Dip each tangerine segment into the yogurt, ensuring it is coated on all sides. Place the yogurt-coated segments onto the prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes or until the yogurt is frozen.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is smooth.
Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each yogurt-coated tangerine segment into the melted chocolate, making sure it is coated on all sides. Shake off any excess chocolate. Place the chocolate-coated segments back onto the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped nuts, e.x. cashews or pistachio.
Chill the bites in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set, about 20-30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
