Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cantaloupe melon
- 1 whole Honeydew melon
- 120 ml Crème de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur)
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 500 ml French vanilla ice cream
- 100 g Blackberries
- 15 g Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
Slice both the cantaloupe and honeydew melons in half and scoop out the seeds.
Using a melon baller, scoop round melon balls from the flesh of both melons. Alternatively, cut the melon flesh into bite-sized cubes. Place the melon balls or cubes in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the crème de cassis over the melon pieces and gently toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the melon to marinate in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
While the melon marinates, rinse the blackberries and gently pat them dry. If using powdered sugar, dust the blackberries lightly for a touch of sweetness.
To serve, divide the cassis-splashed melon among four bowls or dessert glasses.
Add a scoop of French vanilla ice cream to each bowl.
Garnish with a few blackberries and a fresh mint leaf for a vibrant presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant, refreshing treat!
