Ice Cream

Pizzelle Cookie

Spiced Hubbard Squash

Pear Butter

Toasted Pecans

Method

Spiced Hubbard Squash

1

Prepare the Squash

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the Hubbard squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves on a baking sheet, cut side up.

2

Season the Squash

In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and melted butter. Brush this mixture over the flesh of the squash.

3

Bake the Squash

Bake the squash in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Once done, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash it lightly. Set aside.

Toasted Pecans

4

Toast the Pecans

In a skillet over medium heat, add the cup of pecans. Toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.

Whipped Cream

5

Make the Whipped Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Assembly

6

Assemble the Sundae

In a serving bowl, start by adding a scoop of caramel ice cream. Next, layer in the spiced Hubbard squash, followed by a spoonful of pear butter. Crumble a pizzelle cookie on top, then sprinkle with toasted pecans. Finish with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
