Ingredients
-
1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter
3 lb peeled and cubed butternut squash (about 6 cups)
2 tsp allspice
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp dried chives
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
28 oz skim milk
2 heaping tsp cocoa powder
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
Directions
You'll need:
4-quart stainless pot (with cover)
Stick blender
Medium bowl
Instructions:
Melt butter in pot over medium heat. Add squash, allspice, cinnamon, and chives. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes or until squash begins to soften.
In medium bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, skim milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Use the stick blender to thoroughly mix and add body - this will be slightly thick when fully combined and should have a thin layer of foam on top.
Slowly pour the milk mixture into the pot, stirring. Continue to cook uncovered, stirring often, over medium heat until a slow boil is obtained and squash can be smushed with the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat. Use stick blender to mash the squash until the consistency is smooth and creamy. Continue to blend until desired thickness is obtained.
Pour into bowls and serve. This is a thick, heavy bisque, so a little goes a long way.
Makes approximately 10 1-cup servings
