My review
Creamy Acorn Squash
Laurie Gonzales
"I love acorn squash with butter and sugar, but since that doesn't go over very well with a low-fat, low-sugar diet I came up with this alternative. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your individual tastes."

Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place squash cut-side down onto foil.
- Bake squash in preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside to cool until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
- Scoop the cooked squash into the bowl of an electric mixer. Add the cream cheese, then sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar substitute. Beat until smooth, then scoop the squash mixture into a 2 quart baking dish and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
- Return the squash to the preheated oven, and bake until hot, about 20 minutes.

using orange juice during initial prebake of squash adds some citrus flavor. Adding apples to the bakes also added some nice some flavor and substance.

Very tasty way to do acorn squash, which my kids and I just love! I didn't use the low-fat cream cheese because I've never found it to bake/cook well, and instead of returning the squash to a b...

I modified the recipe replacing the cream cheese with 1/4 cup drained non-fat Greek yogurt per squash. Yum.

I felt this had an odd taste, maybe due to the splenda or nutmeg? I would make it again with real sugar and no nutmeg, or maybe use honey instead of sugar.
