Cut the kabocha squash into fairly large pieces and microwave for 7 minutes.
-
2
Throw away any liquid that comes out.
-
3
Mashi the kabocha while it's piping hot.
-
4
While it's still hot, mix in the sugar and butter.
-
5
You can strain it if you want.
-

It's hard work, but the texture will be smooth.

It's still delicious, even if you don't.

Add egg yolk, heavy cream, and cinnamon to the strained mixture.
-

The paste is finished.
-
10
Let it cool.

11
Roll out 2 puff pastry to fit the pie dish.
-
12
Don't cut off the crust that hangs over the edge, instead fold it inwards towards the middle.
-
13
After shaping the folded edges, pour in the filling.
-
14
Cut the remaining 2 sheets of pie crusts into 16 strips.
-
15
Each sheet should make 8 strips.
-
16
Set aside 4 strips and weave the rest into a net on top of a cutting board...
-
17
Then place it on top of the pie filling.
-
18
Place the remaining 4 strips around the edges.
-
19
Using a fork, press down on the edges.

Using a pastry brush, brush the pie crust with the beaten egg.

Since it's a waste to use one whole egg, take some from the egg yolks in the ingredients.

22
It's probably okay to dilute with water.
-
23
Bake in a 390F/200C oven for 40 minutes.

If you have leftover crust, it's a lovely idea to cut it into shapes for decoration.
