Better Than Pumpkin (Uses Butternut Squash) Pie

"This looks like pumpkin pie, tastes like pumpkin pie but it is butternut squash. Perfect for those gardeners who grow squash instead of pumpkin. My boys can't tell the difference."

  1. This was a real treat for dessert tonight. I made just the custard to avoid the fat in the crust. For the cup of sugar I used 1/4 cup of Splenda Brown Blend and 1/4 cup of Splenda granulated then an organic free range egg and fat free evap milk. It wasn't firm enough to cut and serve as a pie wedge, no problem there is nothing wrong with the scoop and serve method. I can't say that it truly tastes like pumpkin, but then it isn't pumpkin, it's butternut squash and it has it own wonderful flavor that is so easy to enjoy.
     
  2. Mary this is a wonderful pie! I baked the squash days ago and allowed it to strain in the fridge to remove all the moisture, I made it today and was so pleased with it, this has the perfect amount of spices, I did pack the brown sugar, we all have a sweet tooth lol! I will be making this again soon, thanks Mary!

I have two boys who will usually eat most things I put in front of them. As a single mom I use them as my guinea pigs....sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have a huge garden, blueberry and blackberry bushes. I am always looking for a new recipe. I have three cats (Xiao Mao, which means little cat in Chinese, Pumpkin and Max) and two border collies, Lucy and Grace. All my animals come from Rescue Agencies. <a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=rsc002.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/rsc002.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/lucyatpoppys005.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=006.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/006.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/?action=view¤t=hilfiger001.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k217/winecoff8902/hilfiger001.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
