Ingredients
- 1 cup of velvety pumpkin puree
- A generous cup of creamy milk
- Sliced ripe banana for a touch of sweetness
- Two tablespoons of rich brown sugar
- Subtle hint of ground cinnamon (1/4 tsp)
- Whisper of vanilla extract (1/4 tsp)
Step 1
Place a dollop of creamy pumpkin puree into a sealable bag and pop it in the freezer. Let it chill there for a cozy 8 hours or even overnight. When you're ready to whip up a delightful treat, take the pumpkin out of the freezer and let it thaw and soften at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Now, it's time to get your blender ready for action. Pour in some milk, then toss in the now velvety pumpkin, a ripe banana, a sprinkle of brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla extract. Let the blender work its magic for approximately 3 minutes until everything is silky smooth and perfectly combined. Enjoy your creamy pumpkin delight!
