This squash souffle recipe has been a family favorite for years. Even kids who don’t like squash clamor for this perfect side dish.
My cousin, Renee has made this side dish so many times that I’ve lost count. And I’ve enjoyed it every single time.
Do you know how when some relatives bring their signature dish and you cry a little inside because you don’t want to eat it yet again?
None of my family members do that with this dish. To me, it’s like the perfect side dish and even kids who hate vegetables ask for seconds of this creamy, fluffy squash.
She happily shared this recipe with me when I asked and I can’t even tell you how thrilled I am that I can make this whenever I want and not wait for her to bring it to a family gathering.
Just wait until you make it!

I’m sooo excited to eat it, so I grab a spoon and scoop some out.

Yum, it’s so fluffy and delicious.

That looks really yummy, Lainey. 🙂
My cousin Renee is my Mom’s cousins daughter’s daughter. Is that enough to confuse you? To me there are two types of cousins. My cousins and my Junior cousins. I can’t keep track of the genealogical gibberish. :))
Elaine
Haha Robin! 🙂
Chris
This reminds me of Indian pudding. And pumpkin pie without the crust. I love the texture and sweet squash flavor. Yum!
Laura
I would have never guest but I are right, it sound like a good combination for Chicken Marsala and I think I will stick with almond milk as it might be lighter and more delicate. Thank you for this great idea
Lyndsay @ Lyndsay's Travel Kitchen
Can you make this with any kind of squash or just butternut? Looks great!
Elaine
Lyndsay! I would think any type of squash would do!! Even pumpkin.
Cathy
With the gardens beginning to come on strong there seems to be an abundance of yellow squash and I wondered if you could also use fresh squash
Elaine
Cathy,
I think you could you’d just have to cook it down. Summer squash is pretty watery, so before you mash it, drain some of the water out! That would be my advice.

Isn’t Vermont magical?? I can’t wait to go back. Now if I could just pair that trip with this soufflé and a bloody mary, I’d be set!
Elaine
Hehehe Ashley. Vermont is indeed magical! I’ll take a bloody Mary too!
Kathy
Made this with left over butternut squash from another meal. Used egg whites instead of eggs (all I had). It was so delicious I had it for dessert the second night.
Elaine
Woohoo Kathy! Thanks for telling me you made it! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you liked it!
