Hmmm. . . I'm not a squash fan, but this sounds really interesting. Putting the squash in a blender would definitely take care of that nasty texture, which is my main objection to cooked squash-like products. I'm also curious as to whether it would cook up well using half and half instead of full cream. One of my hobbies is to take full-fat recipes and find low-fat (or no-fat) ways to duplicate them.
