Ingredients
Kabocha Fauxtato Base
- 3 pounds kabocha
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup cream or coconut cream if dairy-free, or omit if desired
Pecan Crumble Topping
- 4 tablespoons monk fruit golden
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter or butter flavored coconut oil melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Bake the kabocha in a preheated 350ĀŗF oven, pricking all over several times with a fork after 30 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside until cool enough to touch.
- Cut the squash in half, scoop out and discard seeds, then scrape the tender squash into a blender, discarding the outer most peel as well. Add in butter and puree until smooth. Add eggs and cream and blend again. You should have 3 cups. Spread the mixture into a buttered 11×7 inch-baking dish.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, pecans, monk fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla, and butter and combine well until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the kabocha.
- Bake at 350ĀŗF for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
