easy recipe

Water melon jelly

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

Remove the seeds from the water-melon flesh, purée it in a blender until smooth and pour into a saucepan. Add the sweet sparkling wine and yoghurt and cook over a low heat, half-covered, stirring now and then until the mixture is reduced to the third part. Add the cinnamon and stir.
Meanwhile soak the aspic jelly in cold water, squeeze it and melt in the warm mixture. Let the mixture cool and then pour it into a pudding mould. Chill overnight.
Before serving, turn out your cake on the serving platter. If this operation is difficult, you can plunge the mould into hot water for few seconds. Arrange around a fruit salad made with melon, kiwi fruits, lemon juice and ice sugar.

Note
It's a tasty cold cake that you can prepare in advance, the day before.
