Instructions

Prepare the Ice Cream Base

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and milk powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture gently simmers. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once cool, stir in the pureed muskmelon.

Churn and Freeze

Pour the muskmelon mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. During the last few minutes of churning, add the chopped cashews and raisins.
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. For a smoother texture, churn again after the initial freeze.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Muskmelon Ice Cream

For the best flavor, use very ripe, sweet muskmelon. Taste the melon before you begin and adjust the sugar accordingly.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe! Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and freeze, stirring every hour for the first three hours to break up ice crystals. This method will result in a slightly icier texture.
Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins! Chopped pistachios, toasted coconut flakes, or even a hint of cardamom would be delicious additions.
To enhance the creamy texture, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream or condensed milk to the ice cream base before churning.
