About

Mousse of Cantaloupe. I can hear you now, What? Did she say mousse? If that did not stop you, reading the recipe definitely would. So, before you go running away in the opposite direction, I am inviting your creative and adventurous side to come out and be open about this.
It all started with a recipe from an old Italian magazine and I modified it until it took a life of it’s own. I must say, I have not stop eating it, and since I made it a few times to get it where I wanted to taste , I am completely in love with it and so excited to share it with the world.
