  • vanilla bean seeds from 1
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg freshly grated

Instructions

  1. set oven to 375°F.
  2. Pierce the skin of the squash with the tip of a sharp knife a few times and put on a baking sheet. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the flesh is soft when pierced with the tip of the sharp knife.

  3. Put the kabocha flesh in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the butter, half and half, vanilla seeds, and nutmeg. Process until completely smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and pulse to combine. Add more half and half if you'd like a thinner puree.
