Directions
1Using electric beaters, whip the cream with icing sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
2Purée the orange melon in a blender until smooth. Mix in sugar.
3In a small bowl, dissolve the first packet of gelatin with 60 mL (¼ cup) cold water. Add 60 mL (¼ cup) boiling water and mix until completely dissolved.
4Add gelatin to melon purée and mix well.
5Add half the whipped cream to melon purée and mix gently, making figure-8s with the spoon, until colour is even.
6Divide mousse into 6 ramekins or martini glasses. Refrigerate at least one hour until the mousse is set.
7Purée the green melon in a blender until smooth. Add the sugar and half the lime zest and mix well.
8In a small bowl, dissolve the second packet of gelatin with the lime juice and 30 mL (2 tbsp.) cold water. Add 60 mL (¼ cup) boiling water and mix until completely dissolved.
9Add gelatin to melon purée and mix well.
10Add remaining whipped cream to melon purée and mix gently, making figure-8s with the spoon, until colour is even.
11Divide the mousse into the 6 ramekins or martini glasses. Refrigerate at least two hours until the mousse is set.
12Using a melon baller, scoop out melon balls from the two melons.
13Mix melon balls with remaining lime zest. When it's time to serve, use them to top each ramekin or martini glass of mousse.
14If using Lemon Drop melon, use lemon zest and juice instead of lime; this melon's lemony taste pairs better with lemon.
