The star of the show is the deliciously sweet cantaloupe melon, which pairs beautifully with the juicy strawberries. Together, they create a luscious base that’s both nutritious and vibrant. To elevate this dessert further, we've added a hint of zing from the chopped stem ginger and some syrup for added sweetness, which melds beautifully into a creamy Greek yogurt layer. The ginger biscuits offer a delightful crunch that contrasts with the smooth yogurt and fresh fruit, adding a gourmet touch that will impress your guests.

The sprinkle of light muscovado sugar on top provides a delightful toffee flavor that melts into the layers, creating an irresistible fusion of taste and texture.
