Melon With Coconut Milk

 

A wonderful hot weather dessert.

 

1 3 1/2 ounce can sweetened flaked coconut, about 1 cup

1 cup boiling water

4 cups julienne strips of honeydew melon, cantaloupe, Ambrosia melon, or casaba

or a combination, chilled

1/4 tsp. freshly grated lime zest

 

In a blender puree the coconut with the water and the zest at high speed for 1

minute, let the mixture stand for 10 minutes, and force it through a fine sieve

set over a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. Chill the coconut milk, covered,

until it is very cold. Put the melon in a serving bowl, pour the coconut milk

over it, and serve the dessert immediately.
