BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUDDING

Steps:

• Make the squash: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat squash with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet, cut sides down, and cover with parchment-lined foil. Roast until tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 50 minutes. Let cool.
• Scoop flesh from squash using a large spoon; discard skin. Puree flesh in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the bechamel: Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until bubbles form around the edge. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add flour, and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is incorporated. Continue to cook until golden, with a nutty scent, about 3 minutes more. Whisk in milk in a slow, steady stream. Cook, whisking, until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Whisk bechamel until smooth before using.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make the pudding: Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and coat with breadcrumbs. Beat 3 cups pureed squash, the melted butter, eggs, yolks, Parmesan, and nutmeg with mixer on medium speed until smooth. Fold in bechamel. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with parchment-lined foil, and place in a larger baking dish. Fill with enough warm water to come halfway up sides of smaller dish. Bake until center is firm, about 40 minutes. Remove foil, and bake until top browns, about 35 minutes more. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

• Special equipment: a candy thermometer, an 8-inch ring mold and a kitchen torch

• For the pecan jaconde: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until frothy. Slowly add the granulated sugar and salt and whip until stiff peaks form. Add the egg yolks slowly and continue whipping until combined, about 2 minutes.
• Sift in the flour in 3 stages, folding carefully to prevent deflating and making sure there are no lumps. Fold in the melted butter.
• Spread on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with the pecans. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into two 8-inch circles. Tip: leftovers can be use in a trifle
• For the pecan rum cake syrup: Bring the granulated sugar, pecans and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil for three minute or so to release the pecan oils. Remove from the heat and add the rum. Use warm to moisten the sponge while assembling the cake
• For the butternut squash pudding: In a pot, bring the sugar, cream, condensed milk, cinnamon sticks, pumpkin pie spice and 1 cup of the milk to a boil.. In a medium bowl, mix the cornstarch with the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup milk.
• Remove the cinnamon sticks carefully from the milk mixture and temper the cornstarch mixture with it, whisking the hot mixture by the ladleful into the cornstarch mixture. Return the tempered mixture to the pot and add 2 cups of the squash puree (reserve the remaining puree for another use). Cook on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla and butter and mix until incorporated.
• For the marshmallow meringue: In a small pot, bring the granulated sugar and 6 tablespoons water to a boil. Cook to 240 degrees F or the soft ball stage. Once the syrup has reached 210 degrees F, start whipping the egg whites. As soon as the syrup reaches 240 degrees F, add the syrup to the egg whites while whipping. Add the melted marshmallow and pumpkin pie spice and whip until cooled, 5 to 10 minutes.
• To assemble the cake: Use an 8-inch ring mold. Place a layer of pecan joconde sponge on the bottom and drench with half the syrup. Cover with a layer of the warm pudding as thick as the cake. Repeat with another layer of cake and pudding. Allow to cool in the refrigerator until the pudding sets, about 20 minutes. Once cooled, remove from the ring and decorate with the marshmallow meringue all around the cake. Torch the outside of the cake gently to create a brulee look. Decorate with cape gooseberries and chopped pecans, if using.
