Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Butternut squash (cubed)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted butternut squash to a blender or food processor. Add the heavy cream and milk, then blend until smooth and creamy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.
Gradually add the butternut mixture to the bowl, whisking continuously until fully combined.
Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and crimp the edges as desired.
Pour the butternut filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help the filling set further.
Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top, if desired.
