Most of you know of my long-suffering attempts at getting Daniel to eat ANYTHING. While wandering through the web one day, I Stumbled Upon the Top Secret Recipes webpage – and lo and behold the free recipe of the week is Jack in the Box’s Pumpkin Pie Shake.
Daniel likes pumpkin custard (pie without the crust), and he likes pumpkin muffins, so why not try the pumpkin pie shake??!!??
My recipe is slightly different than theirs, so if you want to make it EXACTLY like Top Secret does, go check out their recipe. Specifically – I used more pumpkin and milk, and left out the sugar completely.
Ingredients:
1/2 gal vanilla ice cream
1 can solid pack pumpkin
1 1/2 C whole milk OR cream (depending on how fat ya want it 
)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves (can also use allspice)
Stick the ice cream in a bowl.
Measure out the pumpkin, then realize that DUH you’re using the whole can. Mutter under your breath while you scrape the absolute.very.bottom of the can and stick the measuring cup in the sink.
Mmmmm. Spiiiiiiices. Stir the whole thing together, then realize you left out the milk.
Pour it in and whip out the boatmotor for MORE POWER appeal for the boys…
Innit purty??!!??
Pour and enjoy!
If there’s any leftover, you can stick it in the freezer and make pumpkin picecream. Daniel, however, does not LIKE “piceream”, he likes “pumpkin milkshakes”, so I’ll be freezing his in individual microwaveable cups. I foresee experiments with other things like carrots, yams/sweet potatoes, and other squash. This recipe is VERY easy to divide. Also, if you’re not in the mood to measure out each individual spice, use the equivalent amount of apple/pumpkin pie spice mix.
ooh….apple pie milkshakes.
I’m making myself hungry again!
Huzzah! Emily posted another cook along. I love her cook alongs
