My son's girlfriend brought over a delicious fall cake, and ate it together with everyone. It was delicious and we had a lot of fun, so I wanted to make something for her to bring home for her family to enjoy. As Halloween was close by, I made a kabocha pie!

Make sure to cool the kabocha squash paste before spreading on the puff pastry. For 4 pies. Recipe by akanesh
