foodie fridays: mini butternut squash pie stacks with marshmallow frosting
“Embark on a sweet journey with our Mini Butternut Squash Pie Stacks, crowned with luscious Marshmallow Frosting. Each bite is a delightful fusion of autumn flavors, promising a miniature indulgence that captures the essence of the season.”
If you read this blog, you know Madam Pie and I don’t always get along.
I don’t know what it is, but my taste buds fancy a gooey, chocolate bite of brownie, or a slice of fluffy white cake topped with marshmallow frosting. I honestly don’t know where my aversion to pie came from. Maybe I was hit with a pie in my face in another life? Maybe I ate too many slices of pie in those turn-around display cases? I dunno.
So, when a fab group of talented food bloggers ask you to be a part of pie week, WHAT DO YOU DO? Well, you put on your big girl mitts and get baking. Even though I would rather watch paint dry then make a pie crust from scratch, I thought it would be fun to mix up the traditional “let’s have a slice of pie.”
Rather than dusting myself in flour, I decided to roll out a ready to go pie crust and cut out pie circles (you totally know where this is going). Mix together a little cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Roast and glaze some butternut squash, and whip up my favorite marshmallow frosting. And what you get is the perfect recipe for stack-able pies!
I mean who needs a fork when you all need is your fingers! Shove this pie stack in your face or somebody’s else for a good holiday giggle. Madam Pie gives these two-stacks up!

This is such a creative idea!! I can totally hadle a few stacks!
Thanks, Steph! I hope you are having a great weekend!
Very clever, Lauren, and very quick! This would be great for someone in a hurry or with a house full of friends & family (who would rather spend time with them than in the kitchen). Also a great way to use up a leftover squash or pumpkin casserole. Love it! -j
Thank you, Jeanne! I hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

Amen! Thanks, Kelli!

I’ve heard of cookie stacks but not pie stacks! Can’t wait to try these (not to mention lick off all that marshmallow frosting)
Ha! Me too! Thanks, Carla!
Love it, Lauren!! I am a stack freak and want to stack pretty much everything, so these are just amazing!! Oh an I watched you today!! You did so good!! Congrats and way to go!! Hope you are celebrating tonight!
Yay!!! Thanks so much for recording the show and watching! Seriously, thank you!
Could these be any cuter? I think not. Love the marshmallow frosting!
Thanks, Stephanie!!
Stackable pie!!! Only you. And that is why I adore you. Do you think I could fit a whole stack in my mouth? Only one way to find out.
Why, thank you, friend!! I hope you are having a kick ass weekend!!
Totally love this idea – so much more fun than a slice of pie!
Hooray for butternut squash in desserts! I am obsessed with finding as many ways as I can to put my favorite veggie in desserts this fall and this is a definite winner!
