Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Honeydew melon
- 60 ml Midori liqueur
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 7 grams Gelatin powder
- 30 ml Cold water
- 10 ml Lime juice
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Peel, deseed, and dice the honeydew melon into small chunks. Use a food processor or blender to puree the honeydew until smooth.
Pass the honeydew puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids, ensuring a silky texture. You should have about 300 ml of puree.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water to bloom. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly but not to the point where it starts to solidify.
In a mixing bowl, combine the honeydew puree, Midori liqueur, lime juice, and dissolved gelatin. Mix thoroughly to combine.
In another chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the honeydew mixture in three parts. Avoid overmixing to maintain the mousse's light texture.
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until set.
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and optionally a small honeydew wedge for an elegant presentation.
