Ingredients
Scale
Watermelon
- Watermelon slices, 1 inch thick (as many as desired)
Chocolate & Toppings
- 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers or chips (adjust quantity to match number of watermelon slices)
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon: Pat each watermelon slice dry thoroughly with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove excess moisture, ensuring the chocolate will stick properly.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them according to package directions, stirring frequently until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Dip Watermelon: Holding a watermelon slice, dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off gently. Place the dipped slice on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Add Sea Salt: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle the top of each chocolate-covered watermelon slice with flaky sea salt to enhance the flavor contrast.
- Finish & Set: Continue the dipping and sprinkling process with all watermelon slices. Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until set. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, decadent treat.
Notes
- Ensure watermelon slices are well dried to help chocolate adhere better and prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute dark chocolate melting wafers with high-quality dark chocolate chips or bars, melted carefully.
- Adjust sea salt amount depending on your taste preference for saltiness.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for freshness.
