Final product
The creamy ice cream with the distinct sweet flavor of melon creates a dessert that will have your whole family nodding in approval due to its deliciousness. You can sprinkle some almonds or add fruits to enjoy with the ice cream.
- Skin: should have clearly raised lines and a green color. Avoid choosing fruits with lines that are gradually turning brown or are chipped.
- Weight: if you choose fruits that you want to store for a few days, choose those that are slightly heavier; if buying to enjoy immediately, choose those that are of moderate weight or slightly lighter.
- Aroma: a good melon will have a light fragrant smell, reminiscent of watermelon. If it has an unpleasant smell, do not buy those fruits.
- Sound: hold the melon close to your ear and shake it gently. If you hear a soft sound inside the melon, it is ripe and can be enjoyed immediately.
So the melon ice cream is ready. I wish you success in making this dish and enjoy it with family and friends!
