Ingredients

• 2 cups (pureed) Butternut squash
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 9-inch crust Unbaked pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using fresh butternut squash, peel, seed, and cube a medium-sized butternut squash. Steam or roast the cubes until tender, then puree until smooth. Measure out 2 cups and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pureed butternut squash, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, then add to the squash mixture. Stir until combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the heavy cream, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the filling is smooth and well-blended.

Step 6

Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and crimp the edges if desired.

Step 7

Pour the butternut squash filling into the pie shell. Smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 60–65 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This ensures the filling sets properly.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
