BUTTERNUT PUMPKIN PIE
America's favorite pumpkin purée is actually made from squash, so why not turn to the earthy sweetness of fresh butternut squash? It's dead easy to prepare at home and tastes more vibrantly "pumpkin" than anything from a can.

Steps:
- Prepare the squash purée:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 400°F. Split the squash lengthways, scoop out the seeds, and place cut side down on a foil-lined aluminum baking sheet. Roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, use a large spoon to scrape out the pulp. Pulse in a food processor until smooth, or rub through a double-mesh sieve. Measure out 14 ounces (1 3/4 cups) squash purée. Use warm, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- Make the pie:
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk the squash purée, Quick Condensed Milk, brown sugar, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, butter, and eggs until smooth. Pour into the baked crust, place on an aluminum baking sheet, and bake until the custard has puffed into a gentle dome, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking until the custard is firm around the edges but still wobbly in the very center, about 25 minutes more (200°F; 210°F if the probe touches the crust). Let cool at room temperature until the custard is set, about 2 hours.
- Cut the pie with a chef's knife. If you like, serve with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkling of crushed toffee. Wrapped in plastic, leftovers will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature.
- Make Ahead
- From the No-Stress All-Butter Pastry Crust, which can be rolled, shaped, and frozen months in advance, to the Quick Condensed Milk and squash purée, every element of this recipe can be made well ahead, so don't feel as if you need to tackle it all at once.
- Leftover squash purée can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.

My grandmother taught me how to make this recipe while I was a teenager working on her farm in the summers. For people that find the taste of pumpkin a little strong or just want a change this is a milder but still delicious pie. Hope you like it. Top with whipped cream!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and position rack in the middle of the oven. Spray a 9- or 10-inch pie pan with baking spray or oil the pan with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Add the coconut milk, pumpkin, eggs, sugar, and vanilla to the pitcher of a blender. Blend until combined, about 20 seconds. Add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Blend again until well-combined, another 20 seconds.
- Pour filling into the pie plate. The mixture will be fairly runny. Carefully transfer to the preheated oven.
- Bake until the middle just barely jiggles, 40-50 minutes. I like to check the middle by giving the pie pan a little nudge, and if it seems like it's no longer liquid, I'll pull the pie out and insert a butter knife about halfway between the center and the edge. If the knife comes out relatively clean - no runny pie filling - it's done!
- Place on a cooling rack and let cool, about 1 hour. Transfer to refrigerator to completely cool, at least one more hour (or up to 3 days in advance).
- If desired, top pie with dollops of coconut whipped cream. Or simply cut slices, transfer to a plate, and top individual servings with the whipped cream.
- Keeps in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. I suggest covering the completely cooled pie with plastic wrap if not serving right away.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH PIE
This is a pie of exceptional delicacy. Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, no vegetal tones or stodgy finish mar the radiance of this pie, which stops just short of a custard and glows with the burnish of spice. The candied squash and ginger relish adds freshness and bite to an otherwise rich and creamy pie.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Combine flour and salt in food processor bowl, and pulse. Remove lid, scatter vegetable shortening and butter over surface, and pulse 5 or 6 times.
- Combine beaten egg and 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse liquid into dry ingredients, continuing until mixture is evenly moist and dough looks curdy, about 10 seconds. Turn onto work surface, and press firmly into disk, adding drops of water if dough feels dry. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Roll dough into 15-inch round on lightly floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick, and fit into shallow 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp edges, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Meanwhile, place large pizza stone on lowest rack in oven, and heat at 425 degrees for 1 hour. (If you don't have a pizza stone, you can go without. It can help prevent a soggy bottom crust.)
- Line chilled pie pan with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake on pizza stone for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until crust dries out and crimped edges begin to color, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower oven heat to 300 degrees.
- While crust bakes, prepare filling: Combine eggs, vanilla, sugars, salt and spices in food processor, and process until smooth. Add squash purée, and process until smooth. With machine running, pour in heavy cream, and process to combine.
- Scrape filling into hot prebaked shell, and bake on pizza stone for 20 minutes. Turn the oven up to 325 degrees and continue baking for another 20 to 25 minutes until filling is set two-thirds of the way in from the perimeter and the center still jiggles, about 40 to 45 minutes total (custard will continue to cook after pie is removed from oven). Tent edges loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
- Meanwhile, prepare the candied squash and ginger relish, if using: Combine squash, lemon peel, lemon juice, sugar and salt in small bowl, and stir well. Macerate 30 minutes. Turn into small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until tender and liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Add ginger and mix well.
- Remove pie from oven, and cool to room temperature on rack. Garnish with whipped cream and the relish, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash. Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size. Avoid squash that has blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the squash before using it. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash whole or in halves or cubes.
- Make sure the squash is cooked through before adding it to the pie filling. You can check if the squash is cooked by piercing it with a fork. The fork should go through the squash easily.
- Use a good quality pie crust. You can use a store-bought or homemade pie crust. If you are using a store-bought pie crust, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Don't over-mix the pie filling. Over-mixing the filling can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming too brown.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash pie is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its creamy texture and sweet flavor, butternut squash pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
