How to Make Cantaloupe Pie

  1. Peel and seed one medium-sized cantaloupe (approximately 4 cups). Cut into chunks.
  2. Blend the cantaloupe chunks in a food processor or blender until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the cantaloupe puree into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
  4. Combine 2 cups of the cantaloupe puree with 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a blender.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the cream cheese mixture to the remaining cantaloupe puree in the large bowl. Stir gently to combine.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 (1-ounce) package of unflavored gelatin, and 1/4 cup orange juice.
  8. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Do not boil.
  9. Gradually add the gelatin mixture to the cantaloupe mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
  10. Pour the filling into your prepared pie crust (9-inch).
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh cantaloupe balls before serving.
