How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Juice
As a Halloween lover, I have a challenging relationship with pumpkin. I love it in baked goods: cookies, cakes, pies, gimmie!
I don't even mind it in savory dishes. But drop it in a drink and you'll have me running away screaming like Michael Myers is after me.
Except for my pumpkin juice recipe!
A few summers ago, I decided to give this drink a try...and ended up loving it. I love it SO much that I also turned it into a mimosa.
When I started thinking about cool treats I could share on the blog, a frozen version of my pumpkin juice popped to mind.
And I'm SO glad I tried it because this just became my new favorite pumpkin treat.
How to Make Frozen Pumpkin Juice
All it takes to make your own frozen pumpkin juice are a few simple ingredients and a little patience.
My favorite part of this recipe? I love that my pumpkin juice has a thicker texture to it, and when you add freezing to the mix...it turns into a creamy consistency more like ice cream than a snowcone.
Frozen Pumpkin Juice
Ingredients
- 7.5 Tbsp pumpkin (canned)
- 6 ounces apple juice
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 1/4 ounce honey
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (recipe below)
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients into a blender.
- Blend for 30 seconds.
- Pour mixture into ice cube tray.
- Freeze for at least one hour.
- Return frozen pumpkin juice cubes to blender and blend! (You might consider adding a splash of apple and pineapple juice if the cubes are frozen longer than an hour.)
- Pour into glass and enjoy!
Notes
To make your own pumpkin pie spice, measure one tablespoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of nutmeg and ginger, each, and half a teaspoon of cloves into a small bowl and mix together.
This recipe is like a pumpkin milkshake minus the dairy. It has a thick, creamy consistency without feeling heavy when you drink it. Perfect for summer!
Dropping everything in the blender made it super easy to mix, then blend once I froze the juice for an hour. (Bonus points if you use Halloween-shaped ice cube trays!)
