This dish is outstanding. I make it only at Christmastime (complements prime rib nicely), and this year we had a neighborhood Christmas potluck. EVERYONE LOVED IT, and 4 people demanded the recipe. I've tried milder cheeses, and you really do need the extra-sharp cheeses to work with the just-a-bit-of-sweetness of the squash.

I've never been a fan of gingerbread. I never really cared for the taste or texture. This was a wonderful recipe in its own right, but I needed to add another cup of flour for the right consistency. I'm rating it 4 stars BEFORE my adding the extra cup of flour. Very flavorful and enjoyable to work with and eat!

It was good, but not fantastic. It was a nice change from the pulled pork, though.

I made these for a social, and the consistency wasn't right. I followed the recipe perfectly. They came out, as one reviewer said, more like a thick liquidy fudge. I thought I might've just not stirred it long enough. I tried it again this evening. Used my wire whisk and stirred it the entire 3 minutes and then some, just for good measure. After 2 hours in the fridge, it is nowhere near rolling consistency. I just stuck it in the freezer (which is how I ended up serving it last time--straight out of the freezer), and we'll see how it turns out, but it's not looking good. 5 stars for taste 3 for ease of recipe 3 for consistency 3 for extra effort to perfect
