Melon Ice

If you want an easy dessert, that takes five minutes to make and a few hours of letting it sit in the freezer, this is the recipe for you. It only has two ingredients, and is very fresh!

Ingredients:

1 Honeydew melon, peeled and cut into cubes
1/8 c. sugar

In a food processor, pulse the honeydew and sugar and until smooth and like more of a liquid. Pour into a glass dish, and set in the freezer for about 3 hours. Take a fork and shave the ice so that it is loose and fluffy. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Prosciutto-Melon Kiss


1 package (6-8 slices) Prosciutto 
Cantaloupe
Chives

Cut your cantaloupe in half and scrape out the seeds. With a melon baller, shape out 12-16 melon balls and leave one flat side so that the kisses do not fall over. Lay out the prosciutto and cut each in half. Place one melon ball flat side down on a piece of prosciutto and bring the sides up around the melon. To secure, take a piece of chive, wrap around the prosciutto kiss and tie in a knot. 

I found this on a Restaurant's website that was served for an Amuse Bouche, and they looked so good and simple I had to try them!
