After I wrote the post about kabocha, I received an email from a blog reader asking for the Kabocha Mousse recipe.
Katie’s Kabocha Mousse
Serves one, unless you’re insane and decide to share. If you can’t find kabocha, butternut squash and pumpkin work too. Kabochas are shy guys, but many Asian markets carry them.
- 3/4 cup cooked kabocha, mashed (here’s how to cook a kabocha)
- 1/16 tsp salt
- just under 1/4 cup milk of choice
Blend the ingredients in a blender or food processor (I use as a Magic Bullet and recommend doubling or tripling the recipe, if using a bigger blender, for smoother blending).
Chocolate-Covered Kabocha-Covered Meal of the Day
mmm looks so vibrant and tasty! i will def have to try this one katie 🙂
Yum Katie!! I wish it was easier for me to get kabocha where I live :(. I love it so and I am currently having withdrawals. Your post isn’t helping. Thanks!! haha

Girl, you can turn anything into a pudding! That sounds like a great way to eat kobocha!
I need to find some of this magical veggie! Or fruit?! Looks delicious! I guess it’s a veggie, duh Meg, since you can sub butternut squash for it. Anywho, I’ll be on the lookout for it next time I’m at Whole Foods 😉 thanks for the great ideas and recipes, keep them coming. I love your food-creativity and I just find all of your recipes so awesome! 🙂 Thanks, Katie!
Have a wonderful Monday!
Love,
Meg
smashed boiled berries for jam!?!? that’s so clever and i can’t believe i’ve never tried it!!! simple, natural and delicious 🙂
Wow, the kabocha mousse looks so creamy and delicious!
Ive never heard of it before!
so definitely never TASTED.
shocking I know 🙂
yet Im off to rectify that—–whole foods perhaps?
I just found kabocha for the first time this weekend and it’s lovely! I went boring with it and just steamed, but it sure is rich and sweet! Thanks for the serving suggestions – I still have another big guy to use so I need all the ideas I can get!
do you think this would work with canned pumpkin? I can get kabocha squash, but I have a feeling my knife won’t cut it (literally) since I had trouble chopping a zuchinni today!
Mm this looks the like the very stuff that dreams are made of. I love, love, love that squash.

OMG this looks like heaven! I’m going to try it soon with homemade almond milk!!
Hey hey!!
GUESS WHAT!!?? I BOUGHT MY FIRST KOMBUCHA SQUASH! are yah proud!?? haha. I havent cooked it yet though! whats your fav way of doing it??
I need to find me some of this kombucha!
This is funny, I make it exactly like this (Except no food scale so I have no idea how any grams I use!) but I add in the rice milk just like you do and I loooove sprinkling crushed almonds or ground flax on top– it’s just like pie! Mmm mm. I think my second favorite way (besides by itself in all it’s glory) is stirring into oatmeal. Can’t go wrong with the kabocha.
Did I tell you it broke my Vitamix? Yes. That’s a whole ‘nother story!!
