EASY SQUASH PUDDING

Steps:

• First off, cut your honeynut squash or butternut squash in half. Remove the seeds. Rub the interior of each half with some olive oil or coconut oil. Place halves, cut side down, on a baking tray, and bake in a preheated oven set to 375 degrees F for 35 minutes or until squash flesh is tender. Remove squash from the oven. Let cool a bit and then scoop out the squash flesh. You will be using 1 cup of it for 2 servings of this squash pudding.
• Add the baked squash into a blender.
• Then, melt the coconut oil by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it for 20-30 seconds. Then add melted coconut oil into the blender with the squash.
• Open the can of coconut cream and scoop out as much of the solid parts of the coconut cream as you can and add that to the blender as well.
• Then add in the sweetener, cinnamon, and cardamom, and blend until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
• Spoon into individual servings jars and chill for about an hour or so.
• Serve with whipped coconut cream and pomegranate arils.

SQUASH PUDDING

Steps:

• Cut the squash into approximately 1-inch chunks.
• Cook until tender; either by boiling in water on the stove or cooking for about 9 minutes, stirring once, in the microwave.
• Drain well and puree in blender.
• Mix all ingredients, except nutmeg, well.
• Pour into greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
• Bake 350° for at least 45 - 60 minutes, or until set. (The original recipe says 35 minutes, but it's still like soup at that point for me.).
• Serve warm or cold.

YUMMY SQUASH CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash chunks, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Transfer squash to food processor and blend until pureed.
• Stir cornstarch and salt into squash puree. Beat evaporated milk, 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg together in a separate bowl. Mix milk mixture into squash mixture. Pour squash mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set, about 40 minutes.
• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a large glass bowl until foamy. Gradually beat 3 tablespoons sugar into egg mixture until meringue forms stiff peaks. Spread meringue over custard and bake until golden, about 5 minutes more.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUDDING

Steps:

• Make the squash: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat squash with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet, cut sides down, and cover with parchment-lined foil. Roast until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 50 minutes. Let cool.
• Scoop flesh from squash using a large spoon; discard skin. Puree flesh in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the bechamel: Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbles form around the edge. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is incorporated. Continue to cook until golden, with a nutty scent, about 3 minutes more. Whisk in milk in a slow, steady stream. Cook, whisking, until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Whisk bechamel until smooth before using.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the pudding: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and coat with breadcrumbs. Beat 3 cups pureed squash, the melted butter, eggs, yolks, Parmesan, and nutmeg with mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in bechamel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with parchment-lined foil, and place in a larger baking dish. Fill with enough warm water to come halfway up sides of smaller dish. Bake until center is firm, about 40 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until top browns, about 35 minutes more. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
