I am so excited every time we find perfect starfruit in the farmers market. (which is not often). To be a chocolate decoration they have to be exactly the right size, and ripeness. We take them, slice them and dry them carefully in our Excaliber dehydrator and the little stars are adorable when finished.
When I've collected enough stars we produce a chocolate called Pineapple Starfruit. This confection is made with Waialua Hawaiian Milk Chocolate on the inside. It has a rich caramel raisiny flavor enhanced by pureed pineapple, fresh cream and a splash of starfruit juice. Its then enrobed in dark chocolate and decorated with the dried star.
Because its so scarce, Pineapple Starfruit is only offered in our pretty ocean blue 7 pc tropical box along with Lilikoi Silk, Mango Ginger, Kona Coffee, Macadamia Nut ,Coconut Creme Brulee and Island Spice ( Fresh young Ginger, Kona Vanilla,Kona Cinnamon and Puna Cloves, all spices sourced on the Big Island). This box makes a great gift to take home to friends in those cold climates who are dreaming about the tropics.
