Watermelon Popsicles with Chocolate Drizzle
There’s just something about late summer that calls for easy, refreshing treats. The days are still warm, the evenings feel a little more golden, and I find myself reaching for anything that’s quick, cooling, and a little fun. These Chocolate-Drizzled Watermelon Popsicles are exactly that.
They couldn’t be simpler: just juicy slices of watermelon, a quick drizzle of melted chocolate and coconut oil, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt to tie it all together. The green rind makes the perfect handle for the popsicle stick, so there’s no fussing with molds or waiting for things to freeze. It’s summer snacking at its easiest—and prettiest.
These are the kind of treats I love to set out when friends are over or to make for a casual family afternoon. They look so playful and colorful, but they take almost no effort at all. And that combination of sweet watermelon with the rich chocolate and hint of salt? Absolute magic. Late summer, done right.
These popsicles are as easy as summer should be—refreshing, beautiful, and a little indulgent without any work. Perfect for those last golden days before fall.
Ingredients
- 1 small watermelon, cut into triangle slices (leave the rind on)
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
- Popsicle sticks
Directions
- Slice your small watermelon into triangle-shaped wedges, keeping the rind on each piece.
- Insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each rind so they resemble little watermelon pops.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay the watermelon slices flat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Melt in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the watermelon slices.
- Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.
- Place the tray in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to let the chocolate set, or enjoy immediately if you can’t wait!
