# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • It looks like edible confetti and tastes even better than it looks.
  • No cooking required means you can pull this together while actually enjoying your guests.
  • The color combination alone makes people think you spent way more effort than you actually did.
02 -
  • Melon has to be truly ripe or the baller will give you frustration instead of perfect spheres—when you're at the store, smell it and trust your nose completely.
  • Assemble everything as close to serving time as possible because condensation will eventually dull the visual magic, and you want that wow moment to last as long as possible.
03 -
  • Keep everything ice cold—the temperature contrast between the chilled spheres and your mouth is part of the magic that makes people reach for another one immediately.
  • If you're serving this at a party, arrange it on your platter about thirty minutes before guests arrive so it has time to settle and look intentional rather than just assembled.
