Melon Tiramisu

The thinking behind this one was that it would be a nice summer-y dessert. I'm the first to admit that it wasnt the best dessert I've ever made, but, as the Pizzaman said, "It was better than I expected"/ And it was certainly quick and easy.

Ingredients
- 300ml thickened cream
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 2 x 18cm round bought sponge cakes --This is where I went majorly wrong, Bilo just had madeira cake left... the orange-y flavour didn't go so well with this one, so I suggest you don't buy that as a 'it'll do' option!
- 1/4 cup (60ml) melon-flavoured liquer
- 300g rockmelon
- 300g honeydew melon


Method
Step 1:  Chop the melons coarsely into small cubes

Step 2: Beat sifted cream and icing sugar in a small bowl with electric mixer until soft peaks form

Step 3: Split cakes in half horizontally; trim brown edges. Cut 12x6 rounds from cakes (or whatever size rounds you need to fit in your serving glass...

Step 4: Place one cake round in each of six 1 1/2 cup (375ml) glasses; drizzle with half the liquer.

Step 5: Divide half the combined melons and cream over cake. Repeat layering with remaining cake, liquer and melon mixture.




Ready in less than 30min and (if sponge cake is used and not madeira cake) quite a nice, light summer dessert!
