Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 small seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch thick wedges
- 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (at least 60% cacao)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Cut the watermelon: Cut the watermelon into 1-inch thick wedges and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using), and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the watermelon: Dip the tips of each watermelon wedge into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place the dipped slices onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add sea salt: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate portion of each slice.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the tray for about 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Be sure the watermelon is as dry as possible before dipping to help the chocolate stick.
- You can also sprinkle chopped nuts or shredded coconut on top before the chocolate sets for added texture.
- Best enjoyed the same day they’re made.
