With the days getting shorter and the leaves falling from the trees, there's no denying the fact that fall is officially here...and it's time for Halloween candy, pumpkin seeds and pumpkin desserts galore.
I decided to get into the spirit last night by lighting a fall spice scented candle and churning up a batch of Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt.
Here's what you need for this delicious dessert:
-1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat)
-1/2 cup milk (I suggest soy milk)
-1 can pumpkin puree (15oz)
-3/4 cup maple syrup (you can use 1 cup if you prefer your treats extra sweet)
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Here's what you do:
-Mix all ingredients in a bowl until smooth and creamy
-Place mixture in an ice cream maker, allowing it to churn for 30-40 minutes
-Serve and top with a dollop of whipped cream (optional)
Cuddle up on the couch while the cold winds whistle, and enjoy a creamy treat in honor of the changing seasons.
That sounds so yummy! Wish I had an ice cream maker!
