Ingredients
- 500 grams Honeydew melon
- 60 ml Midori liqueur
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 7 grams Gelatin powder
- 30 ml Cold water
- 10 ml Lime juice
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Peel, deseed, and dice the honeydew melon into small chunks. Use a food processor or blender to puree the honeydew until smooth.
Step 2
Pass the honeydew puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids, ensuring a silky texture. You should have about 300 ml of puree.
Step 3
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water to bloom. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
Step 4
Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until fully dissolved. Let it cool slightly but not to the point where it starts to solidify.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the honeydew puree, Midori liqueur, lime juice, and dissolved gelatin. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 6
In another chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 7
Gently fold the whipped cream into the honeydew mixture in three parts. Avoid overmixing to maintain the mousse's light texture.
Step 8
Divide the mousse evenly into serving glasses or ramekins. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and optionally a small honeydew wedge for an elegant presentation.
