I personally love pumpkin. The flavor is amazing and I will eat just about anything with pumpkin in it. My favorite pumpkin dessert is the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It is the definition of delicious!! Every October/November Dairy Queen has its Blizzard of the Month and I anticipate all year for it to be October so I can get Pumpkin Pie Blizzards!! If you haven’t tried one, i definitely think you should if you like pumpkin at all.
Another of my favorite pumpkin treats is the recipe I have below-
Pumpkin Pie-sicles*
These butternut squash ice pops taste just like the classic Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
Ingredients-
2 1/2 lbs. butternut squash
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2/3 cup light cream
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions-
1. To make a batch, cut a butternut squash into quarters and scoop out the seeds.
2. Boil, bake, or microwave the squash until it’s soft. Let the squash cool a bit before scooping its flesh into a medium-size bowl.
3. Add pure maple syrup, light cream, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Use a potato masher to mush the squash and blend all of the ingredients.
4. Spoon the mixture into ice pop molds (we were able to fill 10), add sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.
