Honeydew Custard TartThis was totally unique-- a crystallized ginger stud-ed shortbread crust (I used white WW flour and Smart Balance 50/50 sticks instead of butter) topped with a velvety honeydew custard!! Wowsa, I was really impressed :) I made a few modifications to the custard because I was running low on eggs and honey. My 3 eggs were actually 3/4c liquid egg whites, and I only used about 1/4c or less honey and agave nectar. My melon was sweet enough ;)
It was absolutely delicious, and I seem to recall a few of us going back in for a second slice ;) Well, that's it for now folks, hope I haven't turned you all into melon-heads by now!
FINALLY! I have been waiting for WEEKS for you to post about this delicious, perfect dessert. The ginger in the crust, the smooth, cool, not too sweet filling... loved this! When can we go to Costco again so you can end up with "way too much food," forcing you to have us over for dinner??? :-)
ReplyDeleteSO incredibly tantalizing - love it!
ReplyDeleteInteresting dessert! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteSounds fabulous and looks sort of like key lime pie! Again- what a fun event! You rock
ReplyDeleteYum! So how many melons were consumed during this melon party?
ReplyDeleteHow unique and and so tempting too. Miam!
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique dessert, it sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow, that definitely sounds delicious- such a good summer dessert- nice and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteThat is SO unique! It must taste so lovely and rich from the crust, too... I rather think that because it has a shortbread crust it would taste better with a less-sweet filling; lighter & creamier would contrast so nicely.
ReplyDeleteThis tart looks and sounds fantastic! I love the idea of honeydew melon custard and the crystallized ginger in the crust must be just excellent!
ReplyDeleteVery unique indeed! I have never had, nor seen anything like this. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely saw a ton of honeydew at the farmer's market last weekend. When I go back, I'm definitely going to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This tart sounds like the perfect light and sweet treat for summer.
ReplyDeletewoow! That is one unique dessert indeed! I once wanted to experiment and make a honeydew cake, but was too chicken to try.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool that it is that sweet. I guess it is called honeydew, so go figure :)
ReplyDeleteI have really loved all of these melon recipes. It is such a fun theme for a dinner party!
ReplyDeleteThis dessert looks delicious. I am trying to think of something to take to a summer party next week, and this may be it!

I love melon-my favorite part of the summer. Love your tart!
ReplyDeletewhat a cool dessert! I always end up with tons of melon leftover (my husband doesn't like it plain). this looks great!
ReplyDeleteI've never had anything like this! How refreshing and yummy it must have been.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of using a melon in a tart! Very interesting :) Looks good!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! To be honest, I'm not much of a melon person, but I would definitely like that.
