WATERMELON PIE

Steps:

• Heavily coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray; set aside. Place crumbled cookies, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar in a food processor, and process until finely ground, 10 to 15 seconds. Add melted butter; process until mixture is moist and clumps together easily, about 5 seconds. Press crumb mixture evenly on bottom and up sides of greased pie plate. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
• Cut part of the watermelon into cubes to equal 3 cups (about 16 oz.). Cover remaining watermelon with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. Place cubed watermelon in a blender, and process until smooth, about 20 seconds. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a large measuring cup, pressing gently to squeeze out juice; discard solids. (You should have about 1 1/2 cups of watermelon juice.)
• Place tapioca in a spice grinder or coffee grinder; process until finely ground, about 40 seconds. Sift ground tapioca through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon of the tapioca powder. (Reserve remaining tapioca powder for another use.)
• Stir together watermelon juice, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon tapioca powder, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan; let stand 5 minutes. Bring to a boil over high, and cook, whisking often, until tapioca dissolves, 5 to 6 minutes. Immediately remove watermelon mixture from heat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and (if desired) 1 to 2 drops food coloring gel.
• While watermelon mixture stands, beat 1 cup of the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of the mascarpone with an electric mixer fitted with whisk attachment on high speed until soft peaks form, about 50 seconds. Gradually add 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar, beating until stiff peaks form, about 10 seconds. Working in batches, gently fold watermelon mixture into whipped cream mixture until smooth and blended. Spoon watermelon mixture into prepared pie plate. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Scoop out flesh of remaining watermelon with a sharp 1-inch melon baller, making about 10 (1-inch) balls. Cut watermelon balls in half, and place, cut side down, on a plate lined with paper towels; set aside.
• Gently stir together remaining mascarpone cheese and 1/3 cup powdered sugar in a large bowl just until combined. Beat remaining 1 cup heavy cream in a medium bowl on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• Dollop mascarpone-whipped cream topping on top of pie, leaving a 1-inch border. Place watermelon-ball halves, cut side down, along edges of whipped cream topping. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• 1. For the Crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Process the cookies in a food processor with the sugar until crumbly. Add the melted butter and process until the crumbs are wet. Scrape the crumbs into a glass or ceramic pie plate and press them in the bottom and up the sides of the pan to make a nice, cohesive crust. ou may have a little bit more of the crumbs than you need. Bake the crust for 8 - 10 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch. Cool completely and chill in the fridge.
• 2. For the Filling: Puree the watermelon chunks in a blender, then pour it through a wire sieve into a large saucepan. Push on the solids to extract the juice, then discard the solids and thoroughly rinse the sieve. You should have around 4 cups of puree. Measure out 1/4 cup of the watermelon juice with a small measuring jug and set aside. Add the sugar to the watermelon juice in the pan, stir, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.While the juice is coming to the boil, add the cornstarch to the reserved juice and whisk until the mixture is completely smooth. When the juice is boiling, whisk the cornstarch mixture again, then whisk it into the boiling juice. Boil for 4 minutes, whisking constantly and scraping the sides and bottom of the pot. The mixture will begin to thicken. Pour the mixture through the cleaned sieve into a bowl to remove and lumps that might form. Leave the filling to cool for about 20 minutes. For the Topping 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup sugar Whip the cream until soft peaks form, then drizzle in the sugar and whip until very stiff peaks form. Scoop the cream onto the chilled pie filling and spread it to the edges of the crust, covering all the filling. Chill in the fridge for an hour before serving. The pie will keep in the fridge for a day. This pie is great right out of the fridge, but I have discovered that serving after it's been out of the fridge for half an hour or more intensifies the watermelon flavor. But don't leave it outdoors! If you have some leftover watermelon, why not make some Watermelon Sweet Tea?
