Thank you so much for posting this recipe. My relative brought a kabocha squash home and I had no idea what to do with it, so making a pie was a great idea. I have a few tips and some feedback both for you and for anyone who wants to attempt this recipe: -First off, the amount of sugar you suggested was PERFECT. So many American recipes tell you to overdo on the sugar and I like that you kept it minimal. - I made a 9 inch pie with a pre-baked crust that shrunk a little. If anyone's crust shrinks before you can bake the entire pie with filling - my suggestion, just reduce some of the ingredients while keeping the other amounts the same and the pie will still turn out great. Where it calls for an egg yolk and two whole eggs, simply just whisk 2 whole eggs into the mixture. Forget the extra yolk. Where it calls for 3/4 cup and a few teaspoons of heavy whipping cream, just put in the 3/4 cup. With these adjustments, I wasn't stuck with extra filling because of my smaller crust. I'm not a baker or pie expert, but the pie tasted fine to me. -I would recommend trying to pre-bake your crust for an extra crispy, flaky pie. Try the recipe from Four and Twenty Blackbirds bakery (can be found online). -If you don't have pumpkin spice, or all FIVE spices you need to make pumpkin spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice), simply put in two teaspoons of cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons of nutmeg if you have those two. The resulting pie had a nice kick and a great pumpkin flavor. Otherwise this is a great recipe and I appreciate the post. Working with a kabocha squash is much easier than trying to buy and carve an entire pumpkin. Thank you!
Thanks for the great video, Mrs. JOC. I am just starting to cook seriously and I appreciate how well you have organized, prepped, and explained all the steps. And I am impressed with the professional quality of the video. I can imagine how much work you put into it. よくやった！
I absolutely adore kabocha. Your pie looks so amazing, and the crimping on your pie crust is so pretty. Thank you for all your recipes and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! I've only made soup from the kabocha squash; there is a K squash waiting on my counter to be eaten. I can't wait to try this! Have you ever tried an Italian squash called. "Marina di Chioggia"? It's the ugliest squash I have ever seen and always thought it was an ornamental, but we tried it and it is SO delicious! If you like kabocha, you will LOVE Marina di Chioggia squash.
Wow this will be perfect dessert for this coming thanksgiving and healthy too👍 ... I'm definitely gonna try to make this... Is the whip cream optional?
Hello Nami-chan, your Kabocha recipe looks like such a fun one to make! I'll have to pass it onto my wife, who loves to cook. I am a food videographer and hope to shoot such amazing videos as yours. thanks! for sharing them. And ganbatte kudasai!
I am not fond of squash like butternut, and sometimes pumpkin can be a little too similar, but I do like Kabocha in tempura, so this pie might be one to try. Does the texture end up more like squash? Would it be worthwhile to push the puree through a sieve to remove any stringy bits? This holiday I will be making a wholly unhealthy (but super delicious) Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pie for dessert.
Ohhhhhhh I'd love to try your pie! Sounds AMAZING! In my blog post, I also showed how to push the kabocha through a sieve. I've tried both method and I actually like the food processor texture (more smooth). www.justonecookbook.com/kabocha-squash-pie/ I always thought hand-push gives more finer texture, but it's actually opposite. :D
Hi! I will be making this tomorrow, is there a specific rum I should use? I currently have the white Bacardi one, or do I need to use a specific ki d for baking?
Hi Nami! I live in Japan (Kumamoto) and I was wondering if they have any pie crust or if I have to make it myself? I've never seen it in a Japanese grocery store. :-(
There is pie sheet (puff pastry sheet) but I've never seen a pie shell before. Probably you'll need to go to an international supermarket. You can use pie sheet, but I recommend the blind baking first if you use puff pastry sheet. More about blind baking on my blog: www.justonecookbook.com/kabocha-squash-pie/
Just One Cookbook thank you so much! I just made one today! Turn out awesome;) I opted for a healthy recipe, so didn't add any brown sugar, just a bit of honey. The sweetness from the squash is enough ! Plz make more healthy recipes! And Wholefood carries this pie crust, I went to traders Joe but they don't have it. I got the organic wheat one from Whole Food. Thank you so much.
I'm so happy to hear you liked the recipe, and thank you for your kind feedback! Glad you found the pie crust (I've tried that wheat one too, very good!). Thanks again! xoxo
my mom is making a cake she calls a mexican fruit cake. it has fresh pine apple in it and coconut, its liek a carrot cake recipe with out the carrots, then it has a cream cheese icing with coconut in it
Let me think... well we have meat pie (ground meat) or chicken pie with creamy sauce, etc... but all these dishes are not traditional Japanese dishes and all came from oversea (but turned to a bit more Japanized?).
Mr. JOC has been working on the color correction and filter...but he's not quite there yet. I'll work on the edit next time and hopefully it'll be better. The beginning and ending shots are always under natural light and it's so pretty (naturally!)...filming under indoor lights (in the kitchen) has been very difficult. :( Thanks for the feedback! :)
@justonecookbook oh ..you so made my day! Iam so glad your still doing videos! I have decided to eat nothing hut japanese food. I bought the justonecook cookbook yesterday. I am working in a cabin that I had put on some land and haven't had alot if time to watch all the videos but I so love your videos!

I'll be hanging around on my TH-cam channel for next 30 minutes to answer any questions you may have. :)
good idea for peeling the skin off so easily by steaming them, thanks! Cos it's very hard to peel when it's raw thank you nami. 😘😄
Joline Fong It's so true - kabocha has one of the hardest skin among all pumpkin/squashes! Thanks for watching! ❤️
wow, it looks so yummy and the background music is so beautiful !
Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video, Mrs. JOC. I am just starting to cook seriously and I appreciate how well you have organized, prepped, and explained all the steps. And I am impressed with the professional quality of the video. I can imagine how much work you put into it. よくやった！
どうもありがとう！ It's a lot of work BUT comments like yours keep us going. :) Thank you for your support!
That looks really good ❤️ I always prefer homemade pies over store bought 😊 love your background music, it's very relaxing
Definitely! Thank you for your kind words, Rebecca! Mr. JOC was hoping to find a relaxing music, and glad you liked it. :) xoxo
I absolutely adore kabocha. Your pie looks so amazing, and the crimping on your pie crust is so pretty. Thank you for all your recipes and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Have a wonderful thanksgiving to you and your family!

love this video! can you make more videos/recipes using Kabocha squash? Thanks!!
Love Kabocha! Your pie looks delicious and amazing. Thanks for sharing. :)
Aww thanks so much for your kind words, Amy!
Looks delicious!
Your videos are soothing to watch, thanks to your good taste in music and editing skills. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Mr. JOC films and edits our videos. I'll let him know. Thank you so much!
Looking forward to making this when winter squashes come back into season and I'm now obsessed with that Silent Words song that you used in the video.
It's a beautiful song, isn't it? :) Hope you enjoy this dessert.
I love Kabocha!!! Your pie is so amazing!!! I like that recipe!
We love this pie very much, and don't make regular pumpkin pie anymore. :)
Oooh..this looks good! I love me some kabocha (especially tempura).
Oh yes, I love kabocha tempura too!! I love kabocha pie more than pumpkin pie. :D
Thank you so much for posting this! The recipe sounds amazing! Love kabocha!
Thank you so much!
Good morning! Thank you for a good recipe. I'm your fan, I wish you success!
Thank you so much!
Wow this will be perfect dessert for this coming thanksgiving and healthy too👍 ... I'm definitely gonna try to make this... Is the whip cream optional?
Optional - I don't need it, but it gives slight sweetness and cold refreshing feeling. The whipped cream is not too sweet. :)
This is very much how we make butternut squash pie, which comes out tasting exactly like our sweet potatoe pies..
perfect recipe and your`s gifts...
simply without comments..
:)
your pie is perfect thank you for the recipe
Thank you!
The Kabocha Squash Pie liiks very nice!
Thank you Amy!
This looks so good and definitely beautiful! =)
Thank you for your kind words. :)

I’ll use this recipe to help me make pumpkin cookies while I’m here in Japan 😭

Hello! If I was to make this dairy free, could I use coconut milk? Thanks! ♡
aatsista Did you try the coconut milk? I'm thinking of trying the same as a substitute. 👍😊
Nice,
Is the rum optional? Can i skip it?
Can I replace heavy whipped cream by milk? If so, how much milk would you recommend? Thank you ;)
Sure! Just swap the heavy cream with milk (same amount). It'll be lighter version. :)
Just One Cookbook thank you so much! I just made one today! Turn out awesome;) I opted for a healthy recipe, so didn't add any brown sugar, just a bit of honey.

Looks delicious! However, kabocha is nowhere to be found around me. Can acorn squash be substituted?
D. Alexander Savoca yes or sugar pumpkins or butternut squash. The taste will be slightly different but it should work.
Thank you very much. :)
Thanks so much for answering! I really appreciate it! :)
And you are so pretty!!!
Thank you for your kind words, Chloe! :)
Can I bake the kabocha instead of steam it?
my mom is making a cake she calls a mexican fruit cake. it has fresh pine apple in it and coconut, its liek a carrot cake recipe with out the carrots, then it has a cream cheese icing with coconut in it
Oh that sounds delicious! So lucky you get to eat it! I'd love to taste it! :)
Can I also roast the kabocha squash? Would that work out :)
Yes you can do that. :)
How many cups of squash does this equivalent too.
I used 2 cups (450 g) puréed kabocha. Hope this helps!
dang it, we don't have kabocha here :( the pie looks amazing though!!!
Hopefully you'll start to see kabocha one day... I didn't see it much when I came to the US but now I can get it locally! :)
Ricardo Roseiro Look for some seeds online! 🎃 😉
Does this work with butternut squash?
You'll need to adjust the amount of sweetness. Kabocha is sweeter than butternut squash in my opinion. :)
is there any type of Japanese version meat pie like chicken pot pie?
Let me think... well we have meat pie (ground meat) or chicken pie with creamy sauce, etc... but all these dishes are not traditional Japanese dishes and all came from oversea (but turned to a bit more Japanized?).
Is kabocha squash and acorn squash the same?
Hi Cheryl! No, they are not the same. Kabocha is way more sweeter than acorn squash. :)
your background music makes me feel sleepy
When it's a longer video, we usually pick a slower and relaxing music. :)
the egg's in your video's looks soooo radioaktive!!
Lala Ala I think its more settings based cus the pumpkin looked very yellow aswell
Mr. JOC has been working on the color correction and filter...but he's not quite there yet. I'll work on the edit next time and hopefully it'll be better. The beginning and ending shots are always under natural light and it's so pretty (naturally!)...filming under indoor lights (in the kitchen) has been very difficult. :( Thanks for the feedback! :)
be nice if stupid stores around here would carry kabocha.. :'( i know u can use pumpkin too, but i like kabocha the best!!!! jealous!!
When I came to California, I didn't find kabocha..now I see it in local store! Hopefully your area will get it soon! :)
thank you.. i hope so! we had it last year.. so i dont know why they dont have it this year.. :'(
This is the most saddest how to bake a pie :') (was referrin to the songs)
My blog and youtube channel is also for people who are new to cooking and baking. It's meant to build confidence and build skills in the kitchen. :)
Are you stilTH-cam? Recipes on youtube?
Yes! I hope you will continue to love my channel. ☺️
@justonecookbook oh ..you so made my day! Iam so glad your still doing videos! I have decided to eat nothing hut japanese food. I bought the justonecook cookbook yesterday. I am working in a cabin that I had put on some land and haven't had alot if time to watch all the videos but I so love your videos!
I'm here because my grandmother bought a kabocha squash instead of a pumpkin
YOU are soooo cute!
Aw thank you for your kind words... :)
よく拝見させてもらっています。
とてもおせっかいだと思いますが聞いてください。
是非ホワイトバランスを少し見直ししてほしいのです。
黄色が青みがかって見えます。とくに卵の黄身、
カボチャの色に温暖な彩度を与えてやってくださいませm(._.)m
フィードバック、ありがとうございます。Mr.JOCはいつもカラーコレクションには苦労してるそうです。TH-camにある編集で変更できるかやってみたのですが、全体の色が変わってしまうので、無理でした。やっぱりPremierできっちり編集しておかないとダメですね。次回は一緒に編集してみます。最初と最後のかぼちゃのシーンは自然光なのですが、やっぱり色が自然だし、全然違いますね。インドアの照明設定・編集は難しいです・・・。ありがとうございました！
