You have a nice and juicy musk melon (kharbooja/kharbooj) and do not know what to make with it? Try making a creamy milkshake and serve it chilled. It can also be made into a juice (panaka) generally made during Ram Navami festival. Musk melon is a species of melon with many varieties like cantaloupe, honey dew. These fruits are very flavourful and are very pulpy. They are a rich source of Vitamin A and very rich in natural juices because most of the melon is water. I had a Galia musk melon(scales like skin). In India, Cantaloupe variety is generally available (distinctive longitudinal lines). Both taste very similar

Notes
For a vegan milkshake, skip honey. Add almond or soya milk and add a vegan ice cream like (soy) instead of dairy ice cream
I usually do not add sugar to any milkshakes, smoothies or juices. Add sugar according to your taste
Double the ingredients if making for more people
I prefer not to add ice as it will dilute the milkshake. Add a few if you like it cold or chill the melon pulp after scooping it out
