NO-BAKE MELON CHEESECAKE BARS
Reminiscent of creamy, honeydew-scented Korean ice cream bars, this no-bake cheesecake leans into a fruit flavor that hasn't had enough time in the sun: melon. Here, fresh cantaloupe purées into a smooth, fluffy pulp that sets into cheesecake, thanks to gelatin. Where the thick, salty-sweet base layer of buttery crackers will satisfy the crust lovers out there, the creamy, soft-set filling will change minds about what melon can truly do. Though the final drizzle of honey is optional, its floral taste works beautifully with the cantaloupe.

Steps:
- Prepare the crust: Place the graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag. Close the bag and, using a rolling pin, heavy can or other blunt object, crush the graham crackers into a coarse rubble. To the bag, add the melted butter, sugar and salt, and mix thoroughly.
- Transfer the crumbs to an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan and press into the bottom of the pan with your hands, forming a thick, sturdy base. Place in the freezer to set while you make the filling.
- Make the filling: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together 1/4 cup cold tap water and the gelatin. Let sit to bloom. Meanwhile, use a blender to purée the cantaloupe, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan on the stovetop over medium until simmering at the edges or in a small bowl in the microwave until hot to the touch, 45 to 60 seconds on high. Add the bloomed gelatin to the hot cream and stir vigorously until smooth. Transfer the cream to the blender and blend with the cantaloupe until smooth.
- Take the pan out of the freezer and pour the filling over the graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 6 hours or up to overnight. Cut into bars and serve, drizzled with honey, if you like.

Steps:
- Select a cantaloupe of good quality. Cut in half, remove seeds, and scoop pulp into a saucepan. Place pulp over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Mash the cantaloupe as it heats. This should make about 2 cups of pulp.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, and salt. Add to heated cantaloupe and cook, stirring, until thick. The amount of flour seems large, but it takes considerable thickening to obtain correct consistency.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks; add water to yolks. Add a little of the cantaloupe mixture to egg yolks in order to heat yolks gradually. Stir egg yolks mixture into cantaloupe mixture. Continue cooking, stirring, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat.
- Add butter or margarine and flavoring to the cantaloupe mixture.
- Pour into baked pie shell.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until frothy. Continue beating, adding the 6 tablespoons sugar gradually; beat until thick peaks form. Top the pie with this meringue.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) until delicately brown on top.

- 1. Line a 7 inches (18cm) baking tin with baking parchment and set aside. Melt the butter and let cool down again.
- 2. Add the amarettini to a freezer bag and crush with a rolling pin (or anything flat) until you get fine crumbs. Add the melted butter to the bag and mix until everything is well combined. Pour the wet crumbs into the prepared baking tin and press to the bottom to get one even layer (works best with the back of a spoon). Place in the fridge until needed.
- 3. Half the melon(s), remove the seeds and skin and cut into thin tripes – you need about 5.3 oz. (150g) sliced and 1.8 oz. (50g) pureed – the rest of the melon(s) is for the decoration (see step 6). Cover everything and place in the fridge until needed.
- 4. For the filling add the cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar to a bowl and mix until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside. Soak the gelatin leaves for 5-6 minutes in cold water. Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form and place in the fridge. Remove the gelatin leaves from the water and squeeze to get rid of some of the water, then add to a small saucepan and heat up until the gelatin has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add about 2-3 tbsp. of the cream cheese filling to the saucepan and mix until well combined. Add that mixture to the bowl and mix everything until very well combined. Add the pureed melon from the fridge and mix in. Place the filling in the fridge for about 8-10 minutes until the mix starts to thicken. When the mixture is not runny anymore, add the whipped cream and carefully fold in.
