MELON BUBBLES

I have had this old Jello recipe over 40 years. When I was diagnosed as diabetic almost 13 years ago, I took this recipe and changed the regular gelatin for sugar-free so I could still enjoy this refreshing dessert

1 pkg (4-serving size) sugar-free gelatin, your choice of flavor/color

3/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
1 cup melon balls, your choice of cantaloupe, honeydew, or watermelon

Dissolve the gelatin completely in the boiling water.

Combine the cold water and enough ice cubes to measure 1 1/4 cups; add to the gelatin mixture and stir until slightly thickened. Remove and discard any unmelted ice.

Measure out 1 1/3 cups of the gelatin and add the melon balls.

Divide into individual serving dishes  or pour into a medium serving bowl.

Beat the remaining gelatin mixture at high speed with an electric mixer until thickened and doubled in volume. Spoon over the gelatin in the dishes/bowl. Chill for 2 hours or until completely set.

Garnish with mint leaves, additional melon balls, etc, if desired.
