The Perfect Blend of Sweetness and Freshness
Our Karpouzopita starts with a buttery and flaky phyllo pastry crust that adds a delicate crunch to every bite. Inside, you will find a luscious filling made with ripe and juicy watermelon combined with a hint of citrus zest. The natural sweetness of the watermelon is enhanced by a touch of honey, creating a beautifully balanced flavor profile.

Karpouzopita is more than just a dessert; it's a celebration of the bountiful Mediterranean ingredients. The watermelon represents the essence of summer, while the honey showcases Greece's rich agricultural heritage. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely lunch with friends or celebrating a special occasion, our Karpouzopita is sure to impress.
Recipe: How to Make Karpouzopita
While Karpouzopita is a dish best enjoyed at Grapevine Restaurant, you can also try making it at home. Here's a simple recipe to recreate the flavors of our signature watermelon pie:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine 3 cups of diced watermelon, 1 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of melted butter, 1/4 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest.
- Line a baking dish with phyllo pastry sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you layer them.
- Pour the watermelon mixture onto the phyllo pastry.
- Top the pie with more phyllo pastry sheets, again brushing each sheet with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool before serving.
Feel free to experiment with additional flavors, such as sprinkling some ground cinnamon or garnishing with fresh mint leaves, to make the pie your own.
