Instructions For Pumpkin Pie – sicles
-
- To make a batch, cut a butternut squash into quarters and scoop out the seeds.
- Boil, bake, or microwave the squash until it’s soft. Let the squash cool a bit before scooping its flesh into a medium-size bowl.
- Add pure maple syrup, light cream, and pumpkin pie spice to the bowl. Use a potato masher to mush the squash and blend all of the ingredients.
- Spoon the mixture into ice pop molds (we were able to fill 10), add sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving (source).Trainer Tip: Allergic to milk ?? Aren’t we all! If you can’t stomach that light cream, try substituting it for almond milk or soy creamer. Both of these alternatives have a similar consistency and will do the job without making you sick!
