Is you garden or CSA box overflowing with zucchini?? Then I have a recipe for you! This old-fashioned zucchini pie recipe is another great way to use up some zucchini this summer and to make an old recipe that people may not have tried before, but will want to eat again.

Zucchini in dessert and baked goods is nothing new. We all enjoy zucchini bread and muffins and I even use it to make a zucchini (mock apple) crisp. But, adding it to a sweet dessert pie seems to be something that many people haven't tried before when we serve it.

The zucchini taste is very subtle in the pie; mostly it tastes like a cream pie with a bit of cinnamon. I recently made this for a party and didn't tell anyone what kind of pie it was before serving it. No one could guess what it was, but everyone really enjoyed it and my husband said it was one of his favorites.

I based this pie off of this recipe. I love making old-fashioned recipes like this one. I thought this zucchini pie was delicious and it's super easy to make. After you cook the zucchini, everything for the filling is whizzed together in a blender and ready to pour into the pie shell to bake.
