Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Winter squash (such as butternut or kabocha), roasted and pureed
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pre-made or homemade Unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using fresh winter squash, halve it, remove the seeds, and roast in the oven with the cut side down on a baking sheet at 400°F (205°C) for about 40–50 minutes, or until tender. Scoop out the flesh and puree it in a blender or food processor until smooth. Let cool to room temperature before using.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the winter squash puree, canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the eggs to the squash and pumpkin mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Roll out your pie crust (if homemade) and place it in a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easier handling.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will firm up as it cools.

Step 10

Serve the Winter Squash Pumpkin Pie at room temperature or chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
