Preparation
Heat whipping cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat until just below the boiling point. Remove from heat; stir in chocolate until melted and completely smooth. If chocolate becomes too thick it can be reheated for a few seconds in the microwave on low heat or over a double boiler until dippable.
Skewer larger fruit pieces on popsicle sticks and smaller pieces on bamboo skewers. You can use one larger chunk of fruit per stick, or skewer smaller fruit pieces kebab-style.
Roll fruit in super-fine sugar and dip in chocolate. Carefully place on parchment lined trays.
When all fruit has been dipped, place trays in freezer for one hour.
