Coconut snow drapes—Bitter melt hugs toasted curls—Islands made of bite

Ingredients

  • 2 packs instant ramen noodles, crushed into bite-sized clusters (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (60–70% cacao recommended), melted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted until golden
  • 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • 1/4 cup dried pineapple bits
  • White chocolate, melted (for drizzling, optional)
  • Edible gold flakes (optional, for garnish)
  • Candied ginger pieces (optional, for a zesty bite)

Preparation

  1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast crushed ramen clusters until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring often. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  2. In a heatproof bowl, melt dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth (microwave in 20-second bursts or use a double boiler).
  3. Form toasted ramen into small clusters using your hands. Dip each cluster in melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then roll in toasted coconut.
  4. Place finished clusters on a parchment-lined baking sheet. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with macadamia nuts, pineapple bits, gold flakes, and candied ginger as desired. Drizzle with white chocolate if using.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator until set, about 20–30 minutes. Enjoy cold or at room temperature.

Perfect Pairings

Drink
