Cantaloupe Cream Pie

It's time for some melon action. I decided this week I'm going to tackle one of the types of fruits least likely to be found in a pie. Melon's are a challenge, but I'm ready to make any pie possible. I bought a cantaloupe and a melon baller which is the COOOOLEST thing ever. Baking pies it's what I do.
