Butternut Squash Pie

First things first, let’s talk about the star of the show: the butternut squash. Trust me, this squash has got some serious talent. It’s creamy, sweet, and gives any pie a kick of flavor that will make you wonder why you haven’t baked with it before. Let’s get cooking!

Delicious Butternut Squash Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash
  • 1 cup sugar (because we all know sweetness is key!)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for that luscious texture)
  • 3 large eggs (the magic binding trio)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (a sprinkle of autumn)
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (to keep things cozy)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (because, let’s be real, salt enhances flavor)
  • 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought, no judging here!)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Let’s get that heat cranked up!
  2. Cut the butternut squash in half, scoop out the seeds, and roast it face down on a baking sheet until it’s tender (around 40-50 minutes). Once it’s cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed butternut squash, sugar, heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until everything is mixed together beautifully.
  4. Pour this velvety squash mixture into your pie crust. Don’t be shy—fill it up!
  5. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed up. Your kitchen will smell divine, just a heads up!
  6. Once it’s done, let it cool for a while. Then slice it up, serve it with whipped cream, and prepare for compliments!

Voila! You’ve just created a dessert that will steal the show. Whether you share it or keep it all to yourself (we won’t judge!), this butternut squash pie is going to become your new favorite go-to treat. Happy baking!
