Frozen Muskmelon Yoghurt
by Tarla Dalal
The Frozen Melon Yoghurt is a creamy dessert with an aesthetic flavour and sweet aroma. Hung curds and cream are mixed with dainty muskmelon balls and deep-frozen. Using the muskmelons as balls instead of smaller cubes gives the dessert a nice appearance and also brings about a nice fruity contrast to the creamy curd mixture, which will be noticeable only if the pieces are chunky. Remember to take the frozen mixture out of the deep freezer and keep it in the fridge two hours before serving. Only then you will get the right consistency. You can make variants of this delicious dessert using plums and strawberries as well. If you are a fan of fruity desserts, try your hand at other mouth-watering treats like the Mango Yoghurt and Strawberry Yoghurt too.

Such a delicious dessert to prepare with minimum ingredients. Served it to my kids who just hates fruits and milk. The combination of hung curds with fruits is so healthy. Will try it with strawberry and mango too.
