If you thought this post would direct you into the paths of pumpkin deliciousness, you are correct! However, if you thought you'd find the perfectly proportioned pumpkin shake, well... join me in the great experiment, because I haven't arrived yet!
Here are the ingredients I used:
organic pumpkin puree, canned ~ 4 oz maybe?
3 eggs yolks
cream - 4 oz frozen
milk - added after the above ingredients to bring the volume to 2 cups
honey - maybe a TB?
vanilla extract - perhaps 1/2 tsp
nutmeg and cinnamon to taste
So it was delicious. I think I need to increase the milk content slightly. The honey was barely adequate but I am also ready to wean down on sweets, so I don't think that will be increased next time. Ideas for future additions will be cloves and ginger, maybe some allspice. A local health food store makes theirs with a whole banana and a lot more pumpkin puree, but since I struggle with adrenal fatigue and I know bananas tank me due to their high potassium content (I need more sodium and they work opposite of each other ) I won't be trying that experiment.
Please post if you try this and come up with a great combo!

I tried the shake. It wasn't extremely tasty but it has room for improvement. Needs a little more sweet and a lot more spice.
