The present utility model relates to a food composition, specifically a squash (
Cucurbita moschata) tart in which squash (
Cucurbita moschata) serves as the principal filling ingredient. Squash (
Cucurbita moschata) is underutilized in commercial pastries due to its high
moisture content and the perceived difficulty of developing a stable, smooth-textured tart filling. It provides nutritional benefits, being rich in beta-
carotene, vitamins, and
dietary fiber. The composition comprises puréed squash (
Cucurbita moschata), all-purpose flour, milk,
cream cheese, white
sugar, butter, de-shelled
whole egg, cornstarch,
yeast,
vanilla extract, and salt. The utility model further discloses a preparation method involving
steaming the squash (
Cucurbita moschata) to enhance
sweetness, soften coarse fibers, and retain nutrients prior to puréeing. The resulting squash (
Cucurbita moschata) purée is combined with wet and dry ingredients to form a uniform mixture, which is baked to achieve a smooth and cohesive tart structure with consistent quality.
