How to make

  1. Prepare. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). Remove the seeds and guts from Japanese squash and peel the skin.
  2. 1. Cut Japanese squash into bite-sized pieces. Place the squash into a heat-resistant bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and heat at 600W in a microwave for about 5~6 minutes, then sieve while hot.
  3. 2. Transfer to a bowl, add whipping cream (heavy cream) a little at a time, and mix until smooth.
  4. 3. Put eggs and sugar in another bowl, and mix well with a whisk until sugar dissolves, then add Step 2 little by little, and mix well.
  5. 4. Heat the milk in a pot over low heat until just before boiling.
  6. 5. Add Step 4 to Step 3 a little at a time and mix to combine, when it's mixed well, sieve it.
  7. 6. Pour into a readymade tart dough and bake in an oven at 160℃ (320°F) for 40~50 minutes. Stick a bamboo skewer in the center and if the dough doesn't stick, remove it from the oven and let it cool.
  8. 7. Add heavy cream and sugar for finishing to a bowl and whisk with a hand mixer until the mixture forms a firm peak. Place in a piping bag, squeeze out onto the surface of Step 6, and it's ready to serve.

Tips for cooking

Please make sure to preheat the oven before baking. If the oven does not have a preheating function, set the temperature and heat for 10 minutes before baking. The heat conditions may vary depending on the type of oven, years of use, or any other factors. Please think of the baking time on a recipe as a guide, and adjust the time by yourself. If it browns faster, cover it with aluminum foil. Heating conditions may vary depending on the type of microwave, the type of heat-resistant container, and the condition of the ingredients. Please check the condition and adjust the heating time as necessary.
