2-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream

1. Place the melon chunks in a blender or a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and blend until smooth. (In the beginning you might need to start and stop a couple of times to move around the melon.) Stir in the lime juice and set aside. 2. Pour the cream and half and half into a medium-sized saucepan. Stir in the sugar, vanilla and salt and place it over medium heat. Bring to a boil and immediately turn the heat off. Stir to make sure the sugar is dissolved. 3. Let this cool for about 10 minutes. 4.Slowly, pour the puréed melon into the cream mixture. Stir until all of the ingredients are evenly combined and then let this cool for about 30 minutes. Then, in a tightly sealed container, refrigerate for at least 5 hours, and ideally overnight. 5. Process in an ice cream machine per the manufacturer's instructions. 6. Mix in the mini chocolate chips and freeze!
