Muskmelon puree is added to a **custard base** along with cooked sago pearls. The mixture is chilled well before serving. It is an **excellent** dessert for house parties or after-dinner meals. Kids will love it, too. ## Ingredients **Muskmelon** - Choose a ripe and juicy muskmelon. Several key indicators can help you determine if a muskmelon is ripe and ready to eat. First, look at the skin color. Muskmelons should have a deep yellow or orange hue, and any green spots on the skin should be very faint. Another way to tell if a muskmelon is ripe is to give it a light squeeze. The fruit should yield slightly to pressure but not be too soft. Finally, you can try smelling the stem end of the melon. Ripe muskmelons will have a strong but not overpowering aroma. **Sabja** **(Basil Seeds)** are cooling in nature. You can also replace them with chia seeds. **Sago** **(Sabudana, Tapioca Pearls)** gives a nice bite to this dessert. Choose medium-sized pearls. **Milk **- I used whole milk (full-fat milk) to make this dessert rich and creamy, but you can also use skim or low-fat milk. Plant-based milks, such as coconut, oat, and soy, work well. **Custard Powder **- I make my [custard powder](https://www.whiskaffair.com/custard-powder-recipe/) at home, but you can also buy a packet. **Sweetened Condensed Milk **not only adds creaminess to the dessert but also lightly sweetens it. ## Other Dessert Recipes We Recommend [![Three small glass bowls of creamy Paan Panna Cotta, garnished with chopped nuts and dried rose petals, placed on a rustic metal tray with a burlap cloth and a vintage spoon beside them.](https://www.whiskaffair.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Paan-Pannacotta-2-3-600x800.jpg)](https://www.whiskaffair.com/paan-panna-cotta-recipe/)Indian Sweets & desserts GFIndian Gluten Free ### Paan Panna Cotta Recipe [![2 Minute Microwave Gingerbread Mug Cake screams holiday.
