The [gluten-free dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-pie-crusts) is a [nutritious alternative](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veggies-made-great1) to the [North American pumpkin pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-pie-turnover) that makes the most of the seasonal produce. Given that the pie has no pastry base and the filling is made of almond meal, the dessert is very moist and has a pudding-like consistency. In order to make your own butternut squash pie, one will need to acquire two pounds of butternut squash or pumpkin, sliced almonds, milk, three eggs, melted butter, almond meal, cinnamon and soft brown muscovado sugar. A single butternut squash pie with this recipe should serve approximately eight people. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Gluten-free Desserts:** Butternut squash pie offers a delicious gluten-free alternative to traditional desserts. - **Nutritional Alternatives:** The use of butternut squash in pie recipes provides a nutritious twist on a classic dish. - **Seasonal Produce:** The use of seasonal ingredients like butternut squash in desserts is a growing trend in the culinary world. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate butternut squash in desserts and cater to the gluten-free market. - **Health Food:** The health food industry can tap into the trend of using butternut squash and other nutritious ingredients in desserts to create healthier options. - **Farm-to-table:** The farm-to-table industry can showcase the use of seasonal produce like butternut squash in creative and unique dessert recipes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegetarian Squash Lasagnas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butternut-squash-italian-lasagna.md) - [Seasonal Butternut Squash Raviolis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/butternut-squash-ravioli.md) - [Thanksgiving Pecan Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pecan-pizza.md) - [Dessert-Inspired Squash Varieties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brle-squash.md) - [Seasonal Gelato Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelato-pies.md) - [Plant-Based Nut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-peanut-butter-crunch-pie.md) - [Autumnal Peanut Butter Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-pies.md) - [Seasonal Free-From Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/southern-roots-vegan-bakery.md) - [Convenient Autumnal QSR Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-creme-pie.md)
