For several years now, we've been adopting a strange Thanksgiving tradition: "ruining" traditional Italian desserts by PUMPKIN-IFYING them!

I love pumpkin everything, from pumpkin pie to Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Several years ago I begged Eva to make pumpkin cannoli, and the result was... not great. Every year since we've tried a different recipe (unsuccessfully so far), and this year will be no different.

In this video, Eva's going to try pumpkin spicing up a few classic Italian desserts and HOPEFULLY not ruin them this time. Maybe we'll stumble upon a delicious discovery along the way...

And because we think it came out great, here's how to make Eva's alternative squash strudel filling:

Ingredients
- cup (80 g) raisins, or to taste
- 6 dates, chopped
- Fireball whiskey
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter
- 20 ounces (565 g) butternut squash, peeled and chopped into small pieces
- 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary, stem removed
- Pumpkin Pie Spice, to taste
- 4 tablespoons (60 g) brown sugar, or to taste
- cup (50 g) chopped pecan nuts
- A pinch of grated lemon zest, to taste

Soak the raisins and chopped dates in a bowl with Fireball whiskey to cover. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped squash, rosemary, and a sprinkle of Pumpkin Pie Spice. Saut for 5 minutes.

Add the sugar and about 1 ounce (30 ml) of Fireball. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain the raisins and dates and squeeze the excess liquid out. Stir these and the pecan nuts into the squash. Continue to simmer until the excess liquid has thickened.

Turn off the heat and stir in the grated lemon zest. Proceed to follow the normal strudel recipe (see above).
