Was and slice the pawpaw. Melt chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat until completely smooth.
Dip each pawpaw slice halfway into the chocolate. Place on a tray and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Place the pawpaw in the fridge to set. Remove from the fridge right before serving and serve.
Do not use soft pawpaw as it is difficult to slice without it breaking and or being messy.
