How to Make Coconut Melon

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk (any kind), 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime juice.
  2. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Cut a small cantaloupe (about 2 cups cubed) into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  5. Add 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut to the melon and gently stir to combine.
  6. Pour the chilled coconut milk mixture over the melon and coconut. Toss gently to coat all the pieces evenly.
