Halve the kiwi.

Make a cut slightly over halfway across the narrow part of the kiwi peel, not cutting all the way through.

Trim the peel off the smallest section using a small knife or peeler.

Dry the kiwi with a kitchen towel. This ensures the dark chocolate will set properly.

Melt the dark chocolate.

Pipe on the chocolate. First, you pipe along the line between the skin and the fruit. Then pipe a line down the middle of the beetle’s body.

Finally, pipe six legs on some parchment paper, and place the kiwi beetle on top.

Leave to set.
