My Pumpkin Pie Blizzard....
Because I want it NOW!
When you live in the country, you try things. Like pumpkin pie blizzards. I just knew I could copycat the recipe or at least get it pretty darn close. You can too!
Pumpkin Pie Blizzard
You need:
vanilla ice cream
milk
sweetened pumpkin pie filling
cookie
pumpkin pie spice
blender
You could make this by hand with a spoon and cup if you have no blender.
In your blender add several scoops of vanilla ice cream and a little glug of milk.
Blend on low or on pulse. You want it fairly stiff. If it's too runny, add more ice cream.
Now add a cookie. I added half of a homemade oatmeal cookie, but you could add a shortbread cookie or any type of cookie you want. Don't crunch it up, just break it in half and let the blender do the rest. Pulse the blender a tiny bit. Lastly, add a good glop of sweetened, spiced pumpkin pie filling. I only had the plain canned pumpkin so I simply added the sugar and spices according to the pie directions on the back of the label. Don't add the egg or milk. Pulse a tiny bit. You want to see the pumpkin swirled in. Pour into a glass. For the Big Ta-da, add a generous squiggle of whipped cream to the top and a sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice. EAT!
oh my gosh - that looks SO GOOD!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe makes me drool, Jody. I've been munching on some pumpkin-raisin cookies today. They are frosted with a penuche (sp?) frosting. Three cheers for pumpkin, for sure.

Yummy! Brilliant, Jody!
ReplyDeleteThanks all! This really is SO good. Tonight I took a bowl of ice cream and swirled some of the sweet pumpkin into it and mushed it into another bowl-blizzard. I skipped the cookies for calories sake...Ha!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
