This is an easy and delicious cooling dessert and it’s made from the bit that you usually throw away when you cut a musk melon.
Musk Melon.
This is what you do:
Scoop out the seeds of the musk melon and rub it through a sieve with a plastic spoon. You will end up with some thick sweet-tasting musk melon pulp.

Meanwhile boil 10gm of Agar in 900mls (1 quart) of water. You can buy agar from Chinese Super-markets or Health Food Shops.

Once the agar has dissolved, mix in the melon pulp. I also added passion fruit pulp with seeds. I used the wild Mayan Passion Fruit, Kun Batz…how’s that for something special!

Refrigerate for about an hour and enjoy! This is a healthy alternative to a cream bun. 😉
It’s getting hot again in Belize as the dry season continues. Vanilla Agar Cubes is a really nice cooling dessert for these hot days. I managed to find agar at the Taiwanese store though I am sure that you could find some in a health food store in Belize. It’s a really easy recipe…light and refreshing.
Vanilla Agar Cubes.
You just need to put the vanilla flavoured agar into ice-cube trays and set. Agar is great in the Tropic because can set at room temperature (40C/ 104F) and sets quicker than jelly.
