It will definitely make your guests ask, “What’s in this?” Many people actually prefer butternut squash to pumpkin in blind taste tests because the consistency of squash is more even. You can make this pie ahead of time, and you’ll definitely want to blind-bake the crust for Butternut Squash Pie as you would for any pie with creamy filling.
