Ingredients (makes 4 servings)
15 oz Can Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin (NOT pie filling)
2 cups skim Milk
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup Splenda
32 tbsp cool whip light

*** PREP ***
I like my milk shakes THICK...almost like ice cream. So I froze the pure pumpkin the night before. I recommend doing this if you like thick shakes, otherwise it will be somewhat thin and runny. HOWEVER! I suggest freezing it in a ice cube tray, and not in a baggy like me. Otherwise you'll end up stabbing at it with a butcher knife trying to get the damn thing in smaller chunks so it doesn't kill the blender.

Alright...so after you have ice cube sized frozen pumpkin... we can move on... lol
Directions
1) Throw everything into blender (except cool whip!) , and mix until shake consistency. (If your blender is ghetto like mine, slowly add the frozen pumpkin so that it can process it).

2) Pour into cup, and top with 8 Tbsp's of cool whip light. (as you can see in the picture this doesn't actually look like very much, I think its because its so heavy. But dang it, I like a lot of cool whip on my pie! )
Enjoy!

Note - You could probably save quite a few calories by buying the canned whipped cream. It is not as heavy and thick as cool whip, so you seem like your getting a lot more. Also, the splenda is optional. I just felt like it need to be sweeter.

1 cup may seem small, but it tastes JUST like pumpkin pie, and is actually very filling. I can't really imagine being able to drink more than 1 cup without getting
pumpkined out.
