BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE RECIPE



Butternut Squash Pie Recipe image

This butternut squash pie is a nice change of pace from pumpkin, and you just might switch from your standard holiday dessert after you try this recipe.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Dessert     Pies

Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 9-inch pie shell, unbaked and chilled
1 large butternut squash, cooked and pureed, about 1 1/2 cups
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
3 large eggs
3/4 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 400 F. Line a large baking pan with foil. Brush the foil with the oil.
  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and reserve for another use or discard.
  • Place the squash, cut-side down, in the prepared pan. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Cover loosely with foil and bake until the squash is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let the squash cool completely. Scoop out the flesh, mash or purée the squash, or put it through a food mill. Measure 1 1/2 cups of mashed squash and set aside. Save any remaining squash for another use.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork. Bake until the crust just begins to brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the mashed squash with the brown sugar on medium speed until combined.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness with more sugar as desired. Add the eggs, evaporated milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, flour, butter, and vanilla. Continue beating until well combined. Alternatively, use an electric hand-held mixer.
  • Put the pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Carefully add the filling to the pie shell.
  • Transfer to the oven, and bake until the filling sets, 45 to 55 minutes. Begin checking the pie at 35 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, set a ring of foil or a pie crust protector over the crust, so it won't get too dark.
  • Transfer the pie to a rack to cool. Serve just warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped topping, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE



Butternut Squash Pie image

This is a pie of exceptional delicacy. Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, no vegetal tones or stodgy finish mar the radiance of this pie, which stops just short of a custard and glows with the burnish of spice. The candied squash and ginger relish adds freshness and bite to an otherwise rich and creamy pie.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     pies and tarts, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/4 cups/183 grams all-purpose flour
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons/23 grams solid vegetable shortening, chilled
5 tablespoons/71 grams cold unsalted butter, in 5 pieces
1 large egg, beaten
2 large eggs plus 2 egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup/100 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups/355 grams roasted squash purée (see note)
1 1/4 cups/295 milliliters heavy cream
Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
3/4 cup finely diced peeled butternut squash
1 1/2 tablespoons finely diced lemon peel (cut from thin lemon slices)
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely diced candied ginger

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Combine flour and salt in food processor bowl, and pulse. Remove lid, scatter vegetable shortening and butter over surface, and pulse 5 or 6 times.
  • Combine beaten egg and 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse liquid into dry ingredients, continuing until mixture is evenly moist and dough looks curdy, about 10 seconds. Turn onto work surface, and press firmly into disk, adding drops of water if dough feels dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Roll dough into 15-inch round on lightly floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick, and fit into shallow 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp edges, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, place large pizza stone on lowest rack in oven, and heat at 425 degrees for 1 hour. (If you don't have a pizza stone, you can go without. It can help prevent a soggy bottom crust.)
  • Line chilled pie pan with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on pizza stone for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until crust dries out and crimped edges begin to color, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower oven heat to 300 degrees.
  • While crust bakes, prepare filling: Combine eggs, vanilla, sugars, salt and spices in food processor, and process until smooth. Add squash purée, and process until smooth. With machine running, pour in heavy cream, and process to combine.
  • Scrape filling into hot prebaked shell, and bake on pizza stone for 20 minutes. Turn the oven up to 325 degrees and continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes until filling is set two-thirds of the way in from the perimeter and the center still jiggles, about 40 to 45 minutes total (custard will continue to cook after pie is removed from oven). Tent edges loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the candied squash and ginger relish, if using: Combine squash, lemon peel, lemon juice, sugar and salt in small bowl, and stir well. Macerate 30 minutes. Turn into small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until tender and liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Add ginger and mix well.
  • Remove pie from oven, and cool to room temperature on rack. Garnish with whipped cream and the relish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the squash before using it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Make sure the squash is cool before handling it: Once the squash is roasted, let it cool slightly before handling it. This will help prevent the squash from breaking apart.
  • Use a food processor to make the filling: A food processor will help you quickly and easily puree the squash and other ingredients for the filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the squash by hand with a potato masher.
  • Don't overmix the pie dough: Overmixing the pie dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Blind-bake the pie crust before filling it: Blind-baking the pie crust will help prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind-bake the pie crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: Once the pie is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Brown sugar butternut squash pie is a delicious and easy-to-make fall dessert. With its sweet and nutty flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
