This sounds delicious and easy but I'm wondering if cantaloupe might have too subtle a flavor to really taste like a cantaloupe pie. A more flavorful melon like honeydew might be interesting.

This is basically a custard. I wonder if it would also work with less creamy fruits like peaches and kiwis. Perhaps the kiwis might be too watery for it to solidify so adding some gelatin might help.

Can't wait to experiment. I'd also like to add some solid fruits chunks. Thanks for the recipe.
