notes

  1. You can make this recipe without a blender. Simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to set before serving.
  2. Be sure to use pure canned pumpkin puree for this recipe, not pumpkin pie filling (which has sugar added to it).
  3. You can use maple syrup instead of molasses, if you prefer.
  4. If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand, you can use ground cinnamon instead.
  5. You can easily double or triple this recipe for more servings, if desired.
  6. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
