This is SUCH a simple recipe, and a healthy way to celebrate the pumpkin flavors of the season. You'll get more compliments than you feel you deserve … what a great way to start the holiday season, right?
Ingredients
- One 16 oz can (BPA-free) or box of organic pumpkin — not pumpkin pie mix! (Or one sugar pumpkin, roasted)
- Two dried figs
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice or garam masala
- Optional garnishes: salted pumpkin seeds (highly recommended for contrast), sliced fresh fig, dab of greek yogurt, coconut cream, or fresh whipped cream
- Optional: organic graham cracker squares for a sense of 'crust'
Instructions
- 1Toss all ingredients in a strong blender (like a Vitamix) and blend until smooth.
- 2Taste, and adjust spices to your liking. Add another fig or a spoonful of maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
- 3If you've added anything, re-blend.
- 4Pour into serving dishes and hold until ready to serve.
- 5Add garnishes and be ready to accept compliments!
Jennifer's tip
As with all recipes using real food ingredients, all measures are approximate — the right blend depends on the characteristics of your in-season ingredients. You're safe to experiment!
