How to Make Baked Butternut Squash Pudding Topped With Ginger Whipped Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9x13 inch Pyrex baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree (or equivalent amount of homemade puree from recipe #194908), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the butternut squash mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. While the pudding bakes, prepare the whipped cream: In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped.
  6. Once the pudding is baked, let it cool slightly before serving. Top each serving with a dollop of ginger whipped cream and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts (optional). Serve warm or chilled.
