Pumpkin Pie Blizzard

An employee at Dairy Queen showed me how to make these!

 

Place the blender glass container in the freezer at least 30 minutes before mixing this recipe so the ice cream won’t melt

 

Place in Blender glass container:

12-oz. of vanilla ice cream (3/4 cup)

1-oz. pumpkin pie mix (2  Tbsp.)

Blend well.

Then add:

1-oz. broken vanilla wafers, (2 Tbsp.)   (crumble by hand, you don’t want crumbs)

 

Then just process and enjoy!

This recipe is for 1 serving

 

 

Creamy Pumpkin Pie

Made with sweetened condensed milk instead evaporated milk, it’s “yummy delicious”!

 

 

1  15-oz can Libby’s solid pack pumpkin

1  (14-oz) can sweetened condensed milk

2  large eggs

1  tsp. ground cinnamon

½ tsp. ginger

½ tsp. nutmeg

½  tsp. salt

1  9-inch pie crust, unbaked

 

First pre-bake crust so it won’t be soggy.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 9-inch pie pan with pastry, prick bottom and sides with a fork and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, Cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.  Blend all of the ingredients together and pour into pie crust. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.  Cover crust with foil last 15 minutes of baking.    Looks good, tastes great with just the right amount of sweetness.

If you’re scooping out a pumpkin to make a Jack-O-Lantern, sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice around the edge where you cut out the top. Then when he’s burning the pleasant fragrance from the spices will be great
