Here is a light refreshing dessert for grown-ups only. Fresh melon combines with an exotic hint of Muscat. Serve with shortbread cookies.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Large Cantaloupe (2-3 pounds), peeled, seeded, and cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Muscat

Preparation:

In a bowl, mix the cantaloupe with a 1/2 cup of the sugar. Let stand for 15 minutes. In a small pot, place the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the water. Bring to a gentle boil. When all the sugar has dissolved, remove from heat.

Using a food processor, puree the cantaloupe until very smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl. Add the sugar syrup and orange Muscat. Mix well and refrigerate until chilled.

Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions.

Amazing!, Member baker1234

I substituted 2 tablespoons of Cointreau for the Muscat and waited until the last few minutes in the ice cream maker to add it, per the maker's instructions. This sorbet is absolutely AMAZING. I couldn't believe how delicious it was! I also used a melon that was near to going bad, so super-ripe. That might have helped with the sweetness. Anyway I'll definitely be making this again!
