Kabocha Pie
Kabocha Pie uses pureed cooked kabocha squash blended with eggs, sugar, milk, cream, and warm spices poured into a single pie crust and baked until set. The mixture's smooth texture and fragrant spices provide a rich, custard-like filling with autumnal flavors. Chilling before serving helps the pie firm up for clean slices.
