Description

Delight in a refreshing and slightly indulgent treat with these Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Watermelon Slices. Juicy watermelon slices are dipped in rich, melted dark chocolate and finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and fruity flavors. This no-bake recipe is easy to prepare in under 10 minutes and makes an elegant snack or dessert, ideal for warm weather or special occasions.

Ingredients

Watermelon Slices

  • 8-10 watermelon slices, about 1 inch thick each

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips (adjust as needed for number of slices)

Topping

  • Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Watermelon: Pat each watermelon slice dry gently with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove excess moisture. This step ensures the melted chocolate adheres well to the fruit.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them according to the package instructions, typically heating in 20-30 second intervals and stirring between each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Dip the Slices: Hold each watermelon slice and dip it halfway into the melted dark chocolate. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place the dipped slice onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Sea Salt: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a light pinch of flaky sea salt over the chocolate-coated portion of each watermelon slice to enhance the flavor contrast.
  5. Set the Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature, which may take about 5 minutes, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for a short time until the chocolate is firmly set.
  6. Serve: Once the chocolate has hardened, serve the slices immediately and enjoy this fresh and indulgent treat.

Notes

  • Ensure watermelon slices are dry before dipping to maximize chocolate adhesion.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for best flavor.
  • The recipe can be customized with other toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut instead of sea salt.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator to keep the watermelon fresh and chocolate firm, but consume within 1-2 days for optimal quality.
