Recipe View Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil over medium heat. Add the zucchini slices and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander and set aside to cool. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup softened butter. Mix with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Measure 3 cups of the cooked zucchini and place them into a blender. Add the evaporated milk, eggs, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon butter, and vanilla extract. Pulse the blender a few times to combine, then blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the zucchini mixture evenly over the crust. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the filling. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. (45 minutes)

Recipe View Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. (120 minutes)
