Fresh Melon with Crisp Amaretti Topping

1 ripe honeydew melon, peeled and seeds removed, scooped into 1-inch balls with a melon-baller
1 ripe cantaloupe melon, peeled and seeds removed, scooped into 1-inch balls with a melon-baller
1/2 pint fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled, and quartered
1/4 cup sugar, or more to taste (this will depend on the sweetness of the fruit)
3 tablespoons almond-flavored liqueur (recommended: Amaretto)
1/2 cup crumbled amaretti cookies

In a large mixing bowl combine the honeydew, cantaloupe, strawberries, sugar, and liqueur and toss gently but thoroughly to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour before serving.

Divide the fruit among 6 to 8 small dessert coupes and sprinkle the crumbled amaretti evenly over the tops of each dessert. Serve immediately.

Yield: 6 to 8 light dessert servings
