Petrifying Pecan Pumpkin Shake

Cook Time5 minutes

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 small servings
Author: Kathy Hester

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon ground chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/8 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 pinch cloves
  • sweetener of choice to taste (maple syrup, stevia, monk fruit, and soaked dates all work well)
  • 1/2 cup crushed ice

Instructions

  • Make your own nondairy milk by adding the water and pecans to a blender and blending until mostly smooth. At this point, you can strain the mixture or leave the tiny bits of pecan in to add texture to the shake. I like to leave them in.
  • Next add the pumpkin, chia seeds, spices, and your choice of sweetener to the blender with the nondairy mixture. Blend until smooth, taste, and add more sweetener if needed.
  • Add ice and blend until it looks like a milkshake. Please note that if you do not have a powerful blender you may need to add the first 1/2 cup of ice and blend, then add more in 1/4 cup increments until it’s as thick as your blender (or undertaker) will allow.

Notes

To make this nut-free, simply substitute 1 3/4 cups of your favorite nut-free nondairy milk in place of the water and pecans.
