Melon Mousse
This unique summer dessert is low in fat and a creative way to use cantaloupe. It's best when made with very ripe melon to give the sweetest flavor. —Sandy McKenzie, Braham, Minnesota

Reviews
This is really unusual and unique recipe! It is a little heavier than actual mousse, but not much. I took heed of the creator's words and the reviewer below, and used a really ripe cantaloupe. Even then, I had to process it in the blender for an extended time to get it pretty smooth, but it was worth it! I will try it again, using vanilla or plain yogurt to see if it focuses a little more on the cantaloupe flavor, but it is really good as is!
MUST use ripe melon! Otherwise it has a tapioca texture. Would like to try it again to see if I can get closer to mousse.
