Equipment

  • piping utensil or bag
  • large flower-shaped cookie cutter
  • medium flower-shaped cookie cutter
  • small round cookie cutter
  • parchment paper
  • skewers

Ingredients

  • 4 slices watermelon
  • 100 grams dark chocolate
  • 1 slice mango

Instructions

  • Slice the watermelon into 2 cm thick pieces (0.8 inches).
  • Use the flower cookie cutter to shape the watermelon (you can make two sizes like I've done, or stick to one size).
  • Place the watermelon flowers on a kitchen towel to dry off (this will help the chocolate stick better).
  • Slice a similar thick piece of mango and trim off the outer skin.
  • Make the round mango cutouts with the round cutter.
  • Now, cut out the center of the watermelon flowers with the round cutter.
  • Place the mango pieces into the middle of the melon flowers.
  • Melt the dark chocolate.
  • Place the chocolate in a piping utensil or bag.
  • Using a pencil, trace the inside of flower cutters onto parchment paper.
  • Turn the paper over.
  • Pipe melted chocolate over the outline of the flowers (you can also cover the entire base of the flowers if you prefer).
  • Place the watermelon flowers on top of the chocolate and press down so the chocolate spreads out.
  • Allow to set.
  • Stick a skewer into the flowers (this will keep the mango piece in place).
  • Serve.
