Pumpkin Pie-sicles


Did someone say Pumpkin Pie?! This yummy treat is perfect for a Halloween party or Thanksgiving gathering. Eating the same sweets year after year can get really boring, so why not spice it up a bit. Kids love popsicles; you can't go wrong with this treat. They are super easy to make and oh so delicious! Made out of butternut squash, these ice pops taste just like the classic Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Even better... you only need the following 4 ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs. butternut squash
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2/3 cup light cream
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

To make a batch, cut the butternut squash into quarters and scoop out the seeds. Then boil, bake, or microwave the squash until soft. Let it cool before scooping it's flesh into a medium-size bowl. Add the pure maple syrup, light cream, and pumpkin spice to the bowl. Use a potato masher to mush the squash and blend all ingredients. Spoon the mixture into ice pop molds (should be able to fill aout 10), add sticks, and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.

That's it! Trust us, if we can do it, so can you! Feel free to post a comment and let us know how they turn out. ENJOY!
