Halloween Kabocha Pie
- 1/8 Kabocha squash
- 3 tbsp Skim milk
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 10 grams Butter
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Apple
- 10 grams Butter
- 4 sheets Frozen puff pastry
- 1 egg's worth Egg yolk (for the glaze)
- Cut the kabocha squash into bite-sized pieces and microwave for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the skin, taking care not to burn yourself.
- Use a large fork, to mash the kabocha to your preferred consistency.
- Add skim milk, honey, and butter and mix well.
- It mixes easily if you add the ingredients while the kabocha is warm.
- This completes the kabocha filling.
- (Sorry, I forgot the photo).
- Slice the apple into wedges and microwave for 3 minutes in a heat-resistant container together with the butter and sugar.
- This completes the apple filling.
- Cut the puff pastry into desired sizes while it's still frozen.
- I cut the puff pastry into 3 vertical slices (the picture shows 2 frozen puff pastry).
- Stack two sheets together and cut the edges to create an oval shape.
- Carve a face in the center of the top sheet.
- Use a knife or whatever tool is easiest.
- This step is easy if the puff pastry are still frozen.
- Preheat your oven at 410F/210C.
- If the puff pastry begin to thaw, spoon the kabocha filling on the bottom sheet, leaving about 1cm of space at the edges.
- Drain excess water from the apple filling and spoon on top of the kabocha filling.
- Lay the top sheet you made in step 7 over the bottom layer with the filling you made in step 8.
- Stretch it out a bit and use a fork to press it down to close the edges.
- Use a fork to create ridges along the face.
- Prepare aluminum cups.
- The bento cups at the dollar store seemed big enough, so I flattened out the bottom for a wider surface area.
- Place the pie made in step 9 in the aluminum cups.
- Use a brush to brush on the egg yoke glaze.
- Bake in the over at 410F/210C for to 8 minutes, then reduce heat to 375F/190C and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes until finished.
- Extra: You can make the Jack-O'-Lantern face out of the kabocha peels.
- After cutting out the facial features, use a beaten egg yolk to stick and press down.
