CANTALOUPE PIE

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!

CANTALOUPE GRAPPA SEMIFREDDO



Cantaloupe Grappa Semifreddo image

A _semifreddo_ is an Italian soft-frozen custard mousse. Grappa, which is floral and just a little edgy, bumps the musky, intoxicating sweetness of the melon up a notch.

Provided by Andrea Albin

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound peeled chopped cantaloupe (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 cup grappa (preferably grappa di Moscato d'Asti)
3/4 teaspoon grenadine (for color; optional)
1/8 teaspoon salt
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup heavy cream
Equipment: a 9- by 5- by 3-inch loaf pan; 2 large (6-quart) bowls (one of them metal); a handheld electric mixer

Steps:

  • Line loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang at each end. Purée melon with 1/3 cup sugar, grappa, grenadine (if using), and salt in a blender until smooth. Transfer to large metal bowl and stir in yolks. Set bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and beat with mixer until pale, thick, and tripled in volume and registers 170°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 8 minutes.
  • Remove bowl from saucepan and set in a large ice bath. Continue to beat until cold, about 6 minutes.
  • Beat cream with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in other large bowl using cleaned beaters until it just holds soft peaks. Fold whipped cream into cantaloupe mixture gently but thoroughly.
  • Pour mixture into pan and freeze, loosely covered with plastic wrap, until firm, at least 5 hours. Uncover top and invert semifreddo onto a plate.

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. Once cooled slightly, pour into pre-baked, cooled pie shell.
  • In a bowl, cream together the Neufchatel cheese and sugar. Beat in milk and vanilla until smooth, then fold in thawed frozen whipped topping until well blended. Spread evenly over cantaloupe layer. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe cantaloupe: The best cantaloupes for pie are those that are fully ripe and fragrant. Look for melons that have a deep orange color and no green spots.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor makes quick work of pureeing the cantaloupe and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the cantaloupe by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough pie crust. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is no longer jiggly. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: The pie will need to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the filling time to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Cantaloupe pie is a delicious and refreshing summertime dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and juicy filling and flaky crust, cantaloupe pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
