This looks really good. Did you make it with the vegan version yet? Just wondered if it set up as nicely with the flax. Did you grind the seeds first?
Amara, No, I have not tried the vegan version yet, but ground flax seed + water has worked great as an egg substitute in every other recipe I’ve tried with it.
I have 2 mini-bochas with this recipe’s name on them
Brilliant. Thank you for another creative way to eat this amazing squash :]
OK this is soooo random. To use up our pureed sweet potato from Thanksgiving, I baked them with some eggs. So it was like a poor woman’s version of your delectable creation above. bet the coconut milk was rockin! And the XG- brilliant heabs!
this is on my list. you pureed the kabocha?
Clare, I simply dumped all the ingredients in my Vita-Mix and pureed everything together. If you don’t have a Vita, I would puree the squash first in a blender or food processor and then add other ingredients. Let me know how you like it. Another reader made it with almond milk. Just had to bake it 10 to 15 minutes longer. She said it was excellent.
sweet heab! thanks, yes i would probably use almond milk and maybe just a can of pumpkin. ill let you know!
I made this with a can of pumpkin, flax and added some Abu to the mix. Awesome!
Ashley, Glad you enjoyed. I was going to originally make it with canned pumpkin, but every store was sold out. So, I subbed kabocha. However, still want to try it with pumpkin. Your version sounds yummy.
Looks so good. I gotta try this!
I’ve finally made this after meaning to for ages and it’s possibly the best pudding ever!
I was going to use normal milk but tried the coconut and was very glad I did; thank you so much for the recipe!

Eleanor, So glad you enjoyed. Gosh, I haven’t made this one in forever – thank *you*for the reminding me about it.
Yum, just made this delish pudding tonight and it is a hit! I cooked up an entire Kabosha the other night and and needed some fun recipes for this beauty of a squash. Who else do I go to but HEAB! PS, I also stuffed a homemade pop tart with Kabosha as well…gosh Im full!!!!
Stephanie T,
So happy to hear the custard was a hit…but I’m even more happy to hear that you made a kabocha stuffed pop tart. Oh my gosh, I love you!!!
This is in the oven as I am typing– coconut aroma filling the air!
Looks lovely! But is there anything you can sub in for the xanthan gum?
Jul,
I think the recipe would work just fine without the xanthan gum – it just fluffed it up a bit.
