This is a BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE. I have been making this pie for years. This pie makes it's own crust, with the help of a blender! A quick & very easy recipe. It won 2nd prize at the Indiana Fair. It is always a winner! Guests think it is the best "pumpkin" pie they ever had! Are they surprised when I tell them it is a squash...

BUTTERNUT PUMPKIN PIE



Butternut Pumpkin Pie image

America's favorite pumpkin purée is actually made from squash, so why not turn to the earthy sweetness of fresh butternut squash? It's dead easy to prepare at home and tastes more vibrantly "pumpkin" than anything from a can.

Yield 1 (9-inch) pie; 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Butternut Custard:
1 medium butternut squash (about 7 inches long and 4 inches across at the base; at least 24 ounces)
1 recipe (2 cups/19 ounces) Quick Condensed Milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed (4 ounces) light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or bourbon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg, plus more to garnish if desired
1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (half as much if iodized)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs, straight from the fridge
For the pie:
1 fully baked No-Stress All-Butter Pastry Crust
1/2 recipe (2 cups/8 ounces) Make-Ahead Whipped Cream, or any variation (optional)
1 cup (5 ounces) crushed Heath® Toffee Bits (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the squash purée:
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 400°F. Split the squash lengthways, scoop out the seeds, and place cut side down on a foil-lined aluminum baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
  • When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a large spoon to scrape out the pulp. Pulse in a food processor until smooth, or rub through a double-mesh sieve. Measure out 14 ounces (1 3/4 cups) squash purée. Use warm, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Make the pie:
  • Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk the squash purée, Quick Condensed Milk, brown sugar, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, butter, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the baked crust, place on an aluminum baking sheet, and bake until the custard has puffed into a gentle dome, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the custard is firm around the edges but still wobbly in the very center, about 25 minutes more (200°F; 210°F if the probe touches the crust). Let cool at room temperature until the custard is set, about 2 hours.
  • Cut the pie with a chef's knife. If you like, serve with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkling of crushed toffee. Wrapped in plastic, leftovers will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.
  • Make Ahead
  • From the No-Stress All-Butter Pastry Crust, which can be rolled, shaped, and frozen months in advance, to the Quick Condensed Milk and squash purée, every element of this recipe can be made well ahead, so don't feel as if you need to tackle it all at once.
  • Leftover squash purée can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups peeled and cubed butternut squash
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 egg, beaten
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground allspice
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground ginger
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

  • Place squash in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer over medium heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a blender or food processor, combine butternut squash, brown sugar, cornstarch, egg, milk, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Process until smooth. Pour into the unbaked pie shell.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of fresh and frozen butternut squash. Fresh butternut squash has a more intense flavor, while frozen squash is more convenient. By using a combination of both, you can get the best of both worlds.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using it in the pie. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a combination of spices in the pie. Common spices used in pumpkin pie are cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add other spices, such as allspice or cardamom, to taste.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough. Stir the filling just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the pie at a moderate temperature. A moderate temperature will help the pie to cook evenly without overcooking the crust.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for fall. With its creamy and flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So next time you're looking for a new dessert to try, give butternut squash pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
