Cantaloupe shaved ice recipe.

Three ingredient dessert.

Cantaloupe is already delicious in the summer. Imagine it frozen and topped with lime zest and hot honey, yum yum! You can make more than one serving of this recipe by cutting more cantaloupe wedges and freezing them in a single layer.

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • One 4-ounce wedge cantaloupe, seeds removed, rind on
  • Hot honey, for drizzling
  • Zest of ½ lime

Directions

Freeze the cantaloupe on a plate or small sheet pan until solid, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.

Remove from the freezer and allow to warm slightly, 3 to 5 minutes (this will make it easier to grate). Holding the wedge by the rind, use a rasp grater to grate the cantaloupe directly into a serving bowl. Use the same grater to grate the lime zest over the grated cantaloupe. Drizzle with hot honey and serve immediately.
