First, presenting today’s recipe, which is chocolate and pistachio watermelon bites, I must say that these treats needed to stay in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before being photographed so that the dark chocolate would set and form a coating around the watermelon cube …
But today I decided to dive headfirst into the kitchen, and after a main dish with feta and a semifreddo in the freezer, I decided to make a third recipe, and honestly, I was dripping and couldn’t wait to close the kitchen and take a break!!!!!!!
As I always say, it’s not a recipe but a quick sweet idea that can stay in the fridge for a couple of days and refreshes the meal in a fun way!
The first problem might be finding a sweet enough watermelon, and then we can coat the fruit cubes with dark or milk chocolate, adding chopped pistachios but also almonds!

Steps
1) Clearly, when preparing these watermelon cubes with chocolate and pistachios, there will be a lot of leftover watermelon pulp that can be used for a fruit salad or a cocktail or chocolate chip popsicles → https://blog.giallozafferano.it/asilannablu/ghiaccioli-al-gusto-di-cocomero-con-gocce-di-cioccolato-ricetta-estiva/.
2) I cut the watermelon into slices about 0.5 to 0.75 inches thick and, after removing visible seeds, I make cubes of roughly the same size.
3) I place the fruit cubes on thick paper towels to absorb as much water as possible.
4) Meanwhile, I melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler.
5) I arrange the watermelon bites on a cooling rack and pour the melted chocolate over them with a spoon or a pastry bag, immediately adding the chopped pistachios.
6) As mentioned above, they need to be placed in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes before tasting them!
7) A little silly, honestly, but delicious…
Enjoy your meal!

Sweet idea for a dessert that we can also make with sliced peaches and pineapple!
