How to Make Zucchini Dessert Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the zucchini puree: Peel and chop 2 pounds of zucchini into 1-inch chunks.
  3. Microwave the zucchini on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain off any excess liquid.
  5. Puree the cooked zucchini in a blender until smooth.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the zucchini puree, 1/2 cup honey, and the dry ingredients (see ingredients list for amounts).
  7. In a separate bowl, gently warm 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk (or 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk).
  8. Whisk in 2 large eggs to the warm milk.
  9. Pour the milk mixture into the zucchini mixture and blend well using a hand mixer.
  10. Pour the batter into an unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
  11. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted slightly off-center comes out clean (the center will be slightly wobbly).
  12. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before chilling for several hours (optional).
  13. Serve chilled, topped with whipped cream.
