Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fruit:
Begin by gathering 8 wooden skewers. To assemble the skewers, start by preparing the fruit. Using a melon baller, scoop out small balls from the melon and set them aside. Peel the kiwi and cut it into 8 small pieces. Peel the bananas and slice them into thick rounds.

2. Make the Chocolate Sauce:
To prepare the chocolate sauce, break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a saucepan. Add the heavy cream and gently heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has fully melted and the sauce is smooth. You can use the sauce either warm or chilled, depending on your preference.

3. Assemble the Skewers:
Now it’s time to assemble the fruit skewers. Start by alternating pieces of different fruits on each skewer, ensuring that the flavors are balanced. Once the skewer is fully assembled, finish it with a fresh mint leaf at the top.

4. Serve:
Place two fruit skewers on each plate. Drizzle them generously with the warm or chilled chocolate sauce, and then sprinkle a tablespoon of crushed hazelnuts over the top for a delightful crunch.

5. Enjoy:
Serve the fruit skewers immediately, allowing the rich chocolate and nutty flavor to enhance the fresh fruits. This refreshing and indulgent dessert is perfect for a summer treat or any special occasion!
