Several years back, I was searching for a Cantaloupe Pie recipe to surprise my grandmother. Her mother made the pie all the time and as a young woman she remembers it being my Uncle Dennis' favorite pie. I requested the recipe in the Taste of Home Magazine and received over 600 responsed by mail! This pie isn't the same as my Grandmother remembered (we did find that one); However, was my favorite! A refreshing pie that's perfect to serve on a hot Texas summer night!

RIPE CANTALOUPE PIE

Provided by Janet Bukovinsky

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield Two pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, chilled
7 to 8 tablespoons ice water
3 eggs, separated, plus the white of an additional egg
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup plus 6 tablespoons sugar
1 large, ripe cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Steps:

  • To make the piecrust, combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and cut it into the flour mixture - one chunk at a time - using a pastry blender or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Gradually add the ice water, blending until the dough adheres and is no longer crumbly. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly, pressing the dough away from you with the heel of the hand. Gather into a ball, flatten into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for half an hour.
  • To make the filling, beat the egg yolks with the milk and one-third cup of sugar in a heavy saucepan. Add the cantaloupe and cook over low heat, stirring often, until the mixture is somewhat thickened and the cantaloupe is soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll out the piecrust dough and fit it into two nine-inch pie pans. Crimp the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Line the pans with foil, and weight with beans or aluminum pie weights. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, removing the weights and foil during the last five minutes. Place on a rack to cool.
  • Fill the cooled pie shells with the cantaloupe mixture.
  • In a bowl, make a meringue by beating the egg whites until foamy. While still beating, add the cream of tartar. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Then beat in the six tablespoons of sugar, one at a time, until stiff peaks form.
  • Spread the meringue mixture on the pies, making sure to fill in the pies completely and to cover the edges of the crust. Bake for eight to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting. Serve immediately when cool, as the pies do not keep long.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
8 tablespoons margarine
4 cups cantaloupe - peeled, seeded and pureed
1 cup sugar
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon margarine
1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel (light cream) cheese, at room temperature
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place flour and powdered sugar in large bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch deep dish pie plate.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Place the cantaloupe in a medium saucepan over medium heat. In a 2 or 4 cup measuring cup, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt, and then stir into the cantaloupe. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a low boil and begins to thicken. Beat egg yolks and water together in a small bowl. Gradually stir in small amounts of cantaloupe mixture to prevent yolks from curdling. Pour yolk mixture back into pan and continue cooking for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: The best cantaloupes for pie are those that are ripe and juicy. Look for melons that are deep orange in color and have a sweet smell.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to puree the cantaloupe and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or a potato masher.
  • Don't overcook the pie: Cantaloupe pie is best when it is slightly undercooked. The center of the pie should still be a little bit wobbly when you take it out of the oven.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: Cantaloupe pie needs to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
  • Serve with whipped cream or ice cream: Cantaloupe pie is delicious served with whipped cream or ice cream. You can also top the pie with fresh berries or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe pie is a delicious and refreshing summer dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and juicy flavor, cantaloupe pie is a surefire hit at any gathering. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give cantaloupe pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
