Pumpkin Pie "Ice Cream" by Carol

By tjanddj

Nutrient dense

Ingredients

• 1 banana, frozen
• 4 oz. cooked squash, frozen (divide 12 oz frozen package into 3rds--I thaw slightly and divide)
• 1/4 cup walnuts, shelled
• 2 tsp vanilla extract, alcohol-free
• 1 TBS Pumpkin Pie spice
• 2-4 Medjool dates, pitted (depending upon level of sweetness desired)
• 3/4 cup of soymilk, unsweetened

Preparation

Step 1

VROOM on HIGH until pureed.

Add: 4-cups ice and VROOM until ice is gone, and texture of ice cream or sorbet.

Optional crunchy "sprinkles": some cacao nibs and unsweetened dried shredded coconut.

You will get the lovely orange pumpkin color and the great pumpkin pie flavors in an ETL treat!


(We did try the frozen squash cubes and they didn't impart the same lovely color as the frozen cooked squash...I don't know why?)
