Being around the Thanksgiving season, there is a lot of winter squash around. I baked one and made it into a soup, and it was so good that my mind started dwelling on pumpkins. Eventually, out popped this.
Chocolate-pumpkin mousse pie
1 small pumpkin (1 lb or so)
8 oz chocolate chips
1 stick of butter
1 cup of milk
6 eggs
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup cream
Bake the pumpkin in a 350F oven for an hour or two. Remove the skin and seeds. Make a thick roux with the butter and flour. Add milk to roux and boil, it will turn very thick. Turn off heat and mix in the chocolate chips. Combine pumpkin, eggs, and cream in blender, then mix well with the roux. Pour into a buttered dish or pie crust. Bake 35-40+ minutes at 350F.
Next time I might drop out some chocolate and add some sugar.
