Hi, Boo! You can loosely pack the melon in the measuring cup =)

I cannot wait to try this recipe but have one question about measurement. Is the cup of melon measured with the melon completely squished down so you don’t see any pockets or air, or just cubed and placed in the cup loosely?

Hi, Matt! That’s an excellent question. Heavy cream is essentially the beginning stages of butter so it could be possible =)

I fell in love with Melona bars from the Hmart in Annandale. Now in AZ I can only find these knockoff Haitai melon bars. They’re still quite yummy, but I’m excited to try and DIY them now with this recipe. The weird thing about the Haitai bars is that their first 3 ingredients are Water, White Sugar, and Processed Butter. I wonder if the butter helps make them extra creamy somehow?

Hi, Kathy! Did you use regular milk? I find that it changes the consistency too much. Additionally, you may have a melon that was picked immaturely at harvest or have a melon now that may be beginning to ferment {which happens a lot where I live in the Caribbean}. I haven’t experienced any bitterness when making this recipe . At what point did you add the melon? What order did you incorporate the ingredients?

I made this, and just now placed it in the freezer….hoping it comes out well.

My problem with it is that it turned out a bit bitter. I did some googling and read that it’s because honeydew melon and milk do not mix well, which is what is causing the bitter taste.

It’s not the ingredients individually, because I have tasted each ingredient separately and there is no bitter taste. Everything is fine.

But when all blended, it is bitter. Why? I do hope freezing it might do some good. :/ I love melona melon bars to, and I was really excited. Now I am not sure.
