What kind of squash did you use, my guess is butternut.

I used the squash in the picture above.  I had a lot of squash to get rid of!

Very unique desert idea.

A friend who had tasted the dessert on a cruise came home and told me about it.  I normally ignore people's requests for ice cream flavours because of the challenge of making something that tastes like what they remembered and loved. This time, with my huge squash sitting in the basement waiting to be eaten, I thought I would give it a go.  It was a triumph.  The roasted pumpkin seed oil was essential.

If you have any squash remaining I'd like to give you this meal starter squash soup recipe, it's good, and better yet so easy...a definite crowd pleaser.   However before I give it to you it comes with a story, It began with my wife and I were vacationing in the Berkshires, while there we like to visit a number of antique stores along with this one particular Goodwill. So we enter the Goodwill, she goes her way and I go mine. 20 minutes later we cash out, I find a small recipe book and she finds some forks,knifes and spoons Later that day into the evening we're having dinner in a restaurant at a place called Pleasant and Main where we begin our meal with a squash soup, coincidentally the same one
as featured in the book I purchased earlier in the afternoon. My wifes silverware turned out to be the real thing and she cashed them all in for $400. So who's the winner here...that's right "moi" because this recipe was destined and it keeps on giving every time I make it, where hers was only a one time pay off.                                                                  Now although the recipe calls for Butternut, who knows you might be able to use the one you have. Kind of like love the one your with, an old song...it all works. A couple of changes from the original recipe, step 3 you can skip if you have a magic hand blender the plug in kind or you can't read the recipe because of the flash spot and the marscapone can be substituted with Philadelphia cream cheese if it's hard to find. The're both very similar almost to taste.  You can also substitute fresh parsley instead of chive  I have a Morrocan chicken soup made with Harrissa and cilantro you might like, but for some reason I really don't think you need any help. Most importantly, I haven't made this with Cumin, I substitute cinammon instead and only 1 tablespoon is enough for me.
