Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Pudding
Creamy vegan butternut squash pudding is better than pumpkin pie and is 10 times easier! Just roast, blend & chill to make this wonderful pudding.
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash, 5 to 6 cups peeled, seeded, and cubed
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- ½ cup coconut cream* (see note)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 to 6 tablespoons almond milk, if necessary, to blend
- Optional toppings: coconut cream, chocolate shavings, toasted pecans
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the squash cubes on the baking sheet and toss with just a little bit of olive oil. Roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. (Note: the squash does not need to be golden brown, just very soft).
- Transfer the squash to a blender and add the coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding almond milk, if necessary, to reach a blendable consistency. Taste and adjust the sweetness and spices to your liking.
- Transfer to ramekins or bowls and chill 4 hours or overnight. Serve with desired toppings.
