In honor of the spring planting, this Shabbat I’m making my famous Flower Shaped Squash Kugel, so named because I make it in this cute silicone flower shaped pan. Every time I bring it out everyone always says “Oooh, look at the pretty flower shaped Kugel!” They really do! It’s a family favorite, and everyone loves cutting off a petal sized serving. I love it because it’s healthy (squash), and incredibly easy to make. Using the silicone pan is a plus too because I don’t have to grease it (silicone is naturally non-stick), its easy to clean, and easy to store – I just roll it up and put it in a drawer.
Flower Shaped Squash Kugel
Servings
Ingredients
- 2 packages cooked winter squash defrosted and drained (10-ounce packages)
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup sugar or splenda
- ½ cup soy milk preferably vanilla flavored
- 3 large eggs
- Non-stick vegetable spray if using non-silicone pan
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- If not using a silicone pan, spray a 9” round pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Place the squash in a large glass bowl. Add the flour, sugar, and soy milk. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and blend until thoroughly combined.
- Pour squash mixture into pan.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes until completely set.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes. If using a nifty silicone flower shaped pan, invert onto serving dish and serve to amazed guests.
I haven’t seen any Demarle products in stores, except for Silpat mats – which are made by Demarle. I don’t know where you live but some of the restaurant supply stores might carry them – in NY a store like Chef’s Central might carry them. If you were here in Chicago I’d have you stop by and check them out 🙂 – you can also contact the company (no…I don’t get a commission LOL) and ask them where you might be able to find them. For whatever it’s worth I have used a LOT of different silicone pans and these are the best by far. Good luck and please keep me posted with what you find. Sharon
Can I buy the silicone molds in a store do you know? I would really like to see them in person.
Hope this helps!
I usually buy birds eye brand at our local kosher food store – Hungarian Kosher (the whole store is under hashgacha).
Where do you get cooked frozen squash? What store/company makes it? (A kosher company or generic brand?)
Glad to help!!
Thanks Sharon!
I love the demarle products – they are the ones that make the silpat mats also. I find that they are better than any other silicone product on the market. Here is a link to where you can purchase it online:

They don’t wear out, and I roll them up and put them in a drawer…a good investment! Good luck! Sharon
