Ingredients

  • 230 grams Kabocha squash (peeled)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 60 grams Sugar
  • 300 ml Milk
  • 1 Maple syrup

Method

  • Peel the kabocha and cut into 3 cm cubes, then boil them.
  • Once they are soft, transfer them to a colander.
  • Turn the heat on for the steamer.
  • While the kabocha is still hot, put them in the food processor along with the sugar and the egg, and process until smooth.
  • Add the milk and process some more.
  • My food processor is small, so I mix well using a spoon.
  • Use the pot and strainer that you used in Step 1 to strain the mixture.
  • If you transfer the mixture to a measuring cup, it will not spill when you are pouring it into the serving cups.
  • Once the steamer has started to boil, transfer the filled serving cups into it and steam for 7 minutes on high heat, with a cloth wrapped around the lid (keep it slightly ajar).
  • Then, turn the heat off, cover completely with the lid and let it steam for 10 more minutes.
  • Take them out of the steamer.
  • Once they have cooled, top with some maple syrup and chill in the refrigerator, and you are done!
  • Pure maple syrup is expensive.
  • We use maple-type syrups, and it still tastes good!
  • They'll be good for packed lunches if you use Tupperware to make them.
  • They won't melt at room temperature since they are made by steaming.
