Yellow Squash Pie

Chef #951905's Note:

Something great for those who love pie's like pumpkin, and dislike squash in general. I personally do not like squash but when I made this, I couldn't believe it, I loved it!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 pie

• 1 cup evaporated milk (PET)
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup honey or ¾ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups cooked yellow squash
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells

Directions:

1. Slice and cook squash in small amount (covering squash) of water until tender. Drain and cool.
2. In blender, blend milk, eggs, cinnamon and honey. Add cooked squash (cooled). Blend together for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour into pie shell.
3. Bake at 400°F for ten minutes, then turn oven down to 350°F and cook for 35 minutes or until set (pie doesn't juggle when moved).
4. Cool; refrigerate until cold then serve. Or you can eat it warm like my family prefers--your choice.

This was a great disguise for yellow squash. Everyone thought it was a pumpking pie :) I used honey and you can really taste it, I probably will use brown sugar next time. Yes there will be a next time! Very easy to fix, especially since i had a pie crust in the freezer. I microwaved the squash then drained/cooled then into the blender. Perfect! Thank you for posting Chef!

This is a good recipe but we substituted Condensed milk instead of evarorated milk and we think it came out a lot better. It adds a better texture and flavor to the pie. We also used light brown sugar instead of regular sugar. Thinking that that honey might be too much with the condensed milk.
