My dad used to make this when I was a kid. It's a great dessert treat and so easy to fix. And now is the best time to make it because cantaloupes are at their peak of flavor ... and they're cheap. I got some for 89 cents a piece last week at Aldis. There's something about the velvety smooth ice cream paired with the sweet melon that I find irresistible. And it brings back lovely memories!
