Melon ice cream cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute melon with other soft fruits like mango, peach, or berries. Just ensure they are blended to a smooth consistency for the mousse.
The cake can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 week. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
Yes, you can use agar-agar or pectin as a vegetarian gelling agent. Adjust the quantity as per the package instructions.
