As a lady, Maggie is very fond of seasonal drinks and  food.  We thought we’d try something with pumpkin.  A pumpkin booze milkshake.  That’ll get the traffic rolling.   We’ll also use $10 ice cream from Jeni’s Ice cream.  This post is not sponsored by them.  We paid the ten bucks.

I called this guy a ghost pumpkin, but it’s a casper pumpkin.  I’m not gonna lie and say that we planned to get a casper, it just looked good at the store.  I read that they’re a bit sweeter than normal pumpkin.  I donno.   We split it in half and scooped out the seeds and strings and broiled the pumpkin for about a half hour.

Then we took the skin off and vac bagged it with cinnamon, star anise, mace, nutmeg, and a bit of maple syrup. It cooked at 85C for an hour and a half.

Freeze the pumpkin and blend, add Jeni’s Whiskey pecan ice cream. Eat the pecans or they’ll make it gritty, unless you blend a lot.  Add booze.  We did 12oz pumpkin, 6oz ice cream and 3oz bourbon.

Yum!
