Melon mousse
Melon mousse is the perfect alternative to chocolate mousse when it's just too hot out to eat something so rich. To make it, scoop out the flesh of one melon, cut it into small pieces and then cook it with 2 tablespoons sugar for about 30 minutes. Once cooked through, sieve it through a fine-meshed strainer to get rid of any lumps, then gently fold it into 2 egg whites that you've beaten until stiff peaks form. Spoon this mixture into sundae glasses and serve with a few melon balls on top for the ultimate summer dessert.
