 Ingredients:

First, this started off as kind of a disaster. I found a recipe online for a cantaloupe cream... I was going to make tarts... that did not set up like it was supposed to and turned out like a soup. Not only that, but it was very strongly cantaloupe flavored, almost overwhelmingly so. Therefore, I scrapped the idea of the cantaloupe tart, decided to make cream puffs instead. So here’s what I did.

For the cantaloupe cream you’ll need:

1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp. flour
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup cantaloupe, pureed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. butter or margarine 
  
 
 Step 1:

Chop up 1/4-1/2 a cantaloupe and puree in a food processor. 1/2 a smallish cantaloupe will make around 1.5-2 cups. You want a nice ripe one.
