Zucchini Pie

This classic Zucchini Pie reminds us of a sugar cream pie with a bit extra cinnamon. Prepared in a blender, this summertime cream pie doesn’t disappoint.

This dessert is perfect with a traditional pie crust, but make this zucchini pie without a crust if you prefer it that way. It is truly delicious either way!

This pie does require a bit of prep work but it’s a simple recipe that is definitely worth the steps.

Zucchini Pie

This “cream” pie has a surprise ingredient…zucchini! A coworker shared this recipe with Barbara a number of years ago. Then she was pleasantly surprised to find a very similar recipe saved among our Grandmother’s recipes.

While it isn’t a recipe either of us remembers her making, finding it makes us think she made and enjoyed a zucchini pie or two in her day.

How to Make This Recipe

Once you peel the zucchini, cut it into cubes and cook it on the stove top by boiling it until fork tender. Once the zucchini is cooked and drained, the rest of the recipe is really simple.

Just add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Then pour into an uncooked pie crust and bake.

You can definitely make your own pie crust but while our Grandma was a wonderful pie crust maker, both Barbara and I took after our mom when it comes to pie crusts…we can NOT make them! So, we rely on pre-made pie crusts – either the ones you find in the refrigerated section at the grocery store or the frozen pie crusts.
