- 1 small butternut squash
- 2 1/2 cups 1 percent milk, divided
- 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1 pinch cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Cut squash in half; place halves, cut sides down, in a roasting pan. Add water to a depth of 1-inch. Bake 30 minutes, or until squash is tender. Discard seeds, and scoop out pulp to measure 2/3 cup. Puree squash in a blender with 1/2 cup milk until smooth.
