By debmarkus

This recipe has been written for the Vitamix 5200 with Standard 64-ounce container. If you are using a different Vitamix machine or container size, you may need to make adjustments to the Variable Speed, processing time, and/or ingredient quantities.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (75 g) pumpkin, fresh or canned
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla yogurt
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup (240 ml) ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

1.Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.
2.Select Variable 1.
3.Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
4.Blend for 45 seconds or until desired consistency is reached. Top with whipped cream and a dust of cinnamon.
In place of canned pumpkin, remove seeds and place a whole pie pumpkin in the oven and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour, or until a knife can be inserted through the peel. (Do not under-bake, or pie will be watery.) Discard peel. Refrigerate or freeze excess pumpkin.
