Cantaloupe Melba

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups 474mlFresh raspberries*
2   Cantaloupes
1/3 cup 65g / 2.3ozSugar
3 cups 711mlRaspberry sherbet
2 tablespoons 30mlOrange-flavored liqueur**

Recipe Instructions

* Or unsweetened frozen raspberries, defrosted

**Or raspberry-flavored brandy (optional)

In a blender or food processor, whirl raspberries until pureed. Pour through a sieve to remove seeds. Stir sugar and liqueur (if used) into puree and mix well; cover and chill.

Halve cantaloupes and remove seeds; peel and cut into thin slices.

Line each of 8 small dessert bowls or goblets with 3 or 4 melon slices.

Top melon with a scoop of sherbet and pour 2 tablespoons chilled raspberry sauce over sherbet.

Raspberry sherbet in goblets lined with sliced cantaloupe and topped with Melba sauce would make a memorable finale for a menu featuring an egg and cheese dish.
