Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- Garnishes: Gummy worms, gummy eyeballs, or extra cinnamon
Instructions
- In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, apple cider, heavy cream, whole milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and salt.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and uniformly orange, about 1 minute.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more milk, cider, or maple syrup as needed.
- Pour the mixture into a large pitcher or serving cauldron and refrigerate for at least 15-30 minutes to chill and allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, add gummy worms or eyeballs as garnish and dust the surface with extra cinnamon if desired.
- Serve immediately in mugs or glasses.
Notes
Ensure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or almond milk. If serving a large crowd, consider making a concentrate and diluting with cider upon serving. Do not freeze, as dairy will separate.
