Steps:
- Add all the prepared melons to a bowl.

- In a medium pan, beat together the sugar and egg. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the whipped cream.
- Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly. Cool and chill.
- When ready to serve, whip the cream and fold into the mixture.

Tips:
- Choose ripe melons: The riper the melons, the sweeter and more flavorful your salad will be. Look for melons that are heavy for their size, have a deep color, and give a little when you press on them.
- Use a variety of melons: Using a variety of melons will give your salad a more complex flavor and texture. Try using a combination of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon.
- Cut the melons into bite-sized pieces: This will make it easier to eat the salad and will also help the flavors to meld together.
- Add some sweetness: If your melons are not very sweet, you can add some honey, sugar, or agave syrup to taste.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity will help to balance out the sweetness of the melons. You can add lemon juice, lime juice, or vinegar.
- Add some herbs: Herbs will add a fresh, fragrant flavor to your salad. Try using mint, basil, or cilantro.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld together and will also make the salad more refreshing.
