directions

  • Put the chopped melon in the freezer for a couple of hours. This helps the ice cream machine along.
  • Blend the melon with the sugar until very smooth and frothy.
  • Add the cream and blend further.
  • Pour the melon mixture into the ice cream machine until it has the consistency of soft ice cream. With the machine still going, add in the whisked whites . These will become incorporated into the ice cream making it softer.
  • I have made this ice cream without the egg white sucsessfully.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a beautiful village on the island of Malta ( Europe) with my wonderful daughter, partner and two cats. I love the vineyards infront of my house or walking down to the valley of olive trees. ( I do pick olives every year) Some years ago I stopped working as a chef but still do a lot of home cooking. What I miss are the expensive ingredients I worked with, its rather hard cooking on a tight budget. My aim is to produce recipes that are very economical and yet nutritious. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <embed src="http://babystrology.com/tickers/baby-ticker-glass.swf?parent=Mommy&year=2010&month=7&day=28&babycount=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="120" height="180"></embed>
