- 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- 2 Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add squash chunks, cover, and steam until tender, 10 to 20 minutes. Place squash in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth. Transfer squash purée to a large bowl; stir in cornstarch and salt until incorporated.
- 3 Beat evaporated milk, ¼ cup sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until smooth; stir into squash mixture until well combined. Transfer squash mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set, about 40 minutes.
- 5 Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together in a large glass bowl with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually beat in 3 tablespoons sugar with the mixer running until stiff peaks form.
- 6 Spread meringue over warm custard; bake until top is golden, about 5 minutes.
