Quick to prepare, this light dessert recipe features a sweet melon topping with a kick thanks to its maceration with hard-hitting Vin Santo.

Easy to pull together, the only longer times here include chilling time in the fridge for prepared pudding and macerating fruits.  You're going to love the inclusion of summertime's melons (select your preference of either cantelope or honeydew, or any other firm-fleshed seasonal melon) and when paired with a seemingly flavor opposite like mint, the topping of this dessert brings up the gustatory profile by 1000%.

Looking for a family-friendly version of this tasty, cooling recipe?  Substitute a lightly-colored fruit juice like apple juice in maceration time with melon, and watch your family of all ages snap this dessert recipe up!

Sweet and quick

I needed a quick dessert that I could prepare ahead of time, and this certainly delivered what I needed. Just a few minutes to whip up the pudding base and to macerate the fruit. Put it in the fridge and got everything else done while this was chilling - just what I needed and the best part was that everyone loved it! Surprisingly layered and textured taste considering the ingredients are easy to source and you actually likely already have most of them already at home!
