When cantaloupe season hits and you’ve got a ripe melon that smells like pure summer, this is what you do with it.

Fresh cantaloupe chunks get folded into a thick vanilla pudding, lightened with whipped cream, and piled into a buttery vanilla wafer crust.

The whole thing chills in the fridge until it’s cool, creamy, and sliceable.

Every bite has that honeyed cantaloupe sweetness against the smooth custard and crunchy cookie crust. It’s the kind of pie that disappears at a backyard cookout before the burgers are even done.

Pro Tips

  • Drain the cantaloupe pieces on paper towels before adding to the pudding. Extra juice will thin out the filling and make it weepy.
  • Use slightly less milk than a standard pudding recipe calls for (2 ½ cups instead of 3) so the filling sets firm enough to slice.
  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks before folding in. Soft peaks will deflate and leave you with a soupy pie.
