   Add the cream to the pureed melon and stir well.

6. 6

7. 7

   When it is quite cold, pour the melon mixture into an ice-cream maker and proceed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

8. 8

   When done, the ice cream will be rather soft but ready to eat just the same.

   If you like it firmer, put it in a container with a tight-sealing lid and leave it in the freezer for three or four hours.

    If preparing it much longer in advance, let it soften in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
