I LOVE the Fall.
It's my favourite season.
LEAVES turning colour...
The CRISPNESS in the air...
Being COZY...
Making PIES...
..and all that JAZZ...
Anyway... I found the best pumpkin pie recipe from Martha Stewart. Here it is:
You know...I never really liked pumpkin pie much cause it was always a bit too EGGY for me...
I have a "THING" with eggs...
I'll save that story for another time..
I actually manage to make TWO pies from the above recipe, so the pie is quite firm and not so GOOEY as some pumpkin pies are.....
The thing with pumpkin pies is.....you are always left with EXTRA pumpkin in the can....
And WHAT are you supposed to do with it?
For years I have been saving it in the fridge thinking I will use it somehow....
But HAVE I?
NO, I haven't...
Until NOW!!!
NOW that my KITCHEN CONCOCTING is such a prominent part of my life!
So...I am not a big milk drinker...
NEVER have been.
I'm probably a BIT lactose intolerant...
Even as a child...I remember when they came around at recess passing out the little red and white milk cartons...
I would CRINGE...
I would take one initial sip to be social and BLECH...they feeling I got from it...
YUCKO!!!!
Just couldn't do it....
Can you say: "MAJOR STOMACH CHURN!"
We didn't know about that stuff back then....
Needless to say, I wasn't a huge cereal consumer... although I did have the ODD bowl of rice krispies with sliced banana and strawberry jam on top.
So... in recent years I was thrilled to latch onto Almond Milk.
Rice Milk and Hemp Milk are in my GOOD books too.
Well...I made THE most delicious chocolate milk!!!
I GOBBLED it right up!
It was SOOOO good!
I USED THE EXTRA PUMPKIN FROM THE CAN!!!
Here it is my friends....
Chocolate milk that tastes like pumpkin pie and has an added BOOST of vitamin A!!!!
Pumpkin Pie Chocolate Milk
(1 medium serving)
3/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 tsp semi sweet mini chocolate chips
1 Tbsp maple syrup
dash of cinnamon
little dash of ground ginger
(grated chocolate for garnish)
Note: If you want it colder you can add a couple of ice cubes
