How to Make Zucchini Or Yellow Squash Cream Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Dice 2 medium zucchini or yellow squash (about 2 cups).
  3. Cook zucchini/squash in 1 cup of water over medium heat until tender (about 10-15 minutes).
  4. Drain well and let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  5. In a blender, combine the cooled zucchini/squash, 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk, 1 cup granulated white sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch prepared pie crust.
  8. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  9. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
