- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions
- Prepare Watermelon Puree: Cut watermelon into chunks and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve to remove pulp.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted.
