For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the squash mixture. The nutty notes of browned butter complement the sweetness of the squash beautifully. If you don't have sweetened condensed milk on hand, you can substitute with an equal amount of heavy cream and an additional 1/4 cup of sugar. Feel free to experiment with different nuts in the topping, such as walnuts or almonds. A sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg adds warmth and complexity to the dish.
