Butternut Squash Souffle or Kugel

MSMD310's Note:

This is a delicious healthy side dish. Pretty enough for company, but kids enjoy the sweet taste! Fresh squash is easy to cook in the microwave, but frozen tastes just as good. For the milk, I used nonfat, my neighbor uses Mocha Mix to make it non-dairy. From my neighbor, Tiffanie, who is the best kosher cook ever!!

I believe this recipe has lots of potential, but it just didn't work out for us. :-/ Since I love butternut squash, I'm going to make this again with the following changes: I'll use an 8x8 pan, as the 9x13 produced a flat product; I'm going to add cinnamon and nutmeg directly to the mix before baking so it's more flavorful; and I'll use 1/4 cup of oil instead of the half, since it was oilier than we would've liked. Thank you for posting this great idea for a healthy dessert. :)

This is really good and really easy to make! I used 1/4 cup of oil as someone else suggested and a bit less sugar. I also mixed in a few hefty shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg and sprinkled cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar on top before cooking. It tastes very similar to pumpkin pie, but much healthier! My 11 month old and 3 year old really liked it too!

Wonderful! I made this for Shabbat diner using the following substitutes, ww flour, soy milk, and brown sugar. It was delicious! The 9 x 13 Pyrex pan was perfect. I served it as a side dish and was enough for 12 people. Next time I will try pumpkin or sweet potato. Thank You Msmd310
