Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Butternut squash
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the squash in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes until safe to handle.
Scoop the roasted flesh out of the squash halves and transfer it to a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and maple syrup to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer, stand mixer, or sturdy whisk, whip the mixture until it is light, fluffy, and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the whipped squash to a serving dish and garnish with an extra dusting of nutmeg, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Nutmeg Whipped Squash!
