Vasiliki’s Karpouzopita - Greek Watermelon Pie Recipe

This recipe for Karpouzopita - Watermelon Pie comes from Vasiliki, from O Palaios, a zaharoplasteio (patisserie) in the town of Plaka on the cycladic island of Milos.

Vasikili makes and serves countless Karpouzopites, at her zaharoplasteio in Milos each summer, and she has beyond perfected it: sweet bursts of juicy, rosy watermelon; crunchy, nutty toasted sesame seeds; heavenly cinnamon spice; and an orange-hued batter that caramelises at the base and creates a chewy, crunchy toffee at the edges. This dessert is incredible!!!

I was lucky enough to have a personal lesson when I travelled to Milos in July 2018. I recently reached out to Vasiliki and asked if she would like to share it with the KO community and she said, "I am honoured that you trust me and my recipe and, with all my heart and love, I would like to share it! I am sending you a thousand hugs and kisses from Milos."

Please make this beautiful pie and feel Vasiliki's warm and loving embrace all the way from Milos! And when and if you can make the journey to Milos, please go and enjoy the original and best version of this pie at O Palaios in Plaka and accept Vasiliki's embrace in person too!
