Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 small seedless watermelon (cut into 1-inch thick triangular slices)
- 1½ cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
- fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the watermelon slices dry with a paper towel.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth.
- Dip and Chill: Dip each watermelon slice halfway into the melted chocolate, sprinkle with sea salt, and place on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes until set.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve chilled.
Notes
- Make sure the watermelon is well-chilled and dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from sliding off.
- Use dairy-free chocolate for a vegan option.
- Serve within a few hours for best texture.
