Frosty Pumpkin Pie Shots
Remember that stuff in a blender I’ve been teasing you with on Facebook and Instagram?
It’s time, friends. I’m really excited about this one.
Especially since it starts off looking like this:
I know, right? Good grief.
And they’re actually not too bad for you. Maybe even… *gasp* healthy. They’re also vegan, grain-free, and nut-free. I think just about everyone will be happy with this one.
Oh, and they taste like frozen pumpkin pie.
Have a delicious and grateful Thanksgiving!!
Frosty Pumpkin Pie Shots
Pumpkin pie in the form of a dairy-free and paleo-friendly frozen treat! I’ll take 8, please.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 of an avocado
3 dates, pitted and halved
2-3 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
About 3 cups of ice cubes
Directions:
Combine all ingredients (except the ice) in your power blender (i.e. Vitamix, Blendtec) and blend until smooth, scraping the sides if necessary. (If you use a Blendtec, run the “sauces” program twice, scraping the sides between runs.)
Add the ice, about 3 cups, or until the contents of the blender measures around 4 or 4 1/2 cups. Blend again (use the “ice cream” program on your Blendtec twice), pushing the ice down if necessary.
Divide into glasses and serve immediately.
Nat’s Notes:
1. If you don’t have a power blender like those mentioned above, make the base in your food processor, then transfer the contents to your blender before adding the ice. Add 1/2 cup of warm water to get things moving. The texture isn’t quite as thick, but it really works nicely.
2. Unfortunately this isn’t a make-ahead type of dessert. If you put it in the freezer for more than a few hours, it will become rock solid. You can, however, make the base ahead of time, refrigerate, then blend it with the ice when you’re ready to serve.
From Perry’s Plate
Love this recipe!! I would even venture to say that *some* people (not you, not me of course!) could easily throw some rum or bourbon in the blender for a treat :) This recipe is all around delish and I love how healthy it is!
These sound totally lovely!
