Cheese Mousse and Melon Dessert

Ingredients

Cream cheese 250 g

Melon 1

33% cream 200 g

Canned cherries 100 g

Egg whites 2

Cherry liqueur 50 ml

Cognac 50 ml

Sugar 200 g

Chocolate 100 g

Whip 100 g of sugar and the egg whites until stiff and thick. Pour in the cherry liqueur and beat again.

First, prepare the cheese mousse. In a separate bowl, whisk the cream with the remaining sugar until fluffy. Add 1 tablespoon of whipped cream to the cheese and mix until creamy. Fold the remaining whipped cream into the whipped egg whites.

 Add the cream cheese to the prepared mixture and gently fold everything together. Then, add the cherries and chopped chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and mix thoroughly.

Line a mold with plastic wrap and place the prepared mousse in it. Freeze for 3 hours. Before serving, cut the frozen mousse into portions.

Cut the melon in half. Cut each half into 3 equal pieces and remove the seeds. Fan each portion into 4-5 thin wedges, joined at the stem. Trim the rind of each wedge, leaving it joined at the junction. Place the melon on a plate, fanning the wedges, and drizzle with cognac. Place a portion of frozen mousse next to it and serve immediately.

 Cheese mousse can also be frozen in individual cupcake molds. Small muffin tins are ideal for this purpose. However, it's best to let the mousse sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
