Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Cantaloupe melon
- 1 cup Condensed milk
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 5 leaves (optional, for garnish) Mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Slice the cantaloupe melon in half and remove the seeds using a spoon.
Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop the cantaloupe flesh into bite-sized balls or pieces and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
Add the cantaloupe pieces to the milk mixture and gently toss to coat the fruit evenly.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, divide the melon salad into serving bowls or glasses. Add a few ice cubes to keep it extra cold.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
