This is the only way my husband will eat zucchini. Since he is diabetic I make it use Splenda blend. I have never tasted anything like it. It is sweet and creamy. I won 2nd place in a pie contest. It was beaten by a mile high chocolate raspberry pie. I concede, you can't beat that.

  • I have made this several time now. Everyone who has tried it just loves it.
    I do peel the zucchini and remove the seeds. After it is cooked I squeeze out as much moisture as possible. I use the Splenda and it is great for diabetics.
