DISAPPEARING PUMPKIN SHAKE
"Adapted and tested by Chronicle restaurant writer Dai Huynh. As an alternative to pumpkin juice (which really sounds better than it tastes), quench your thirst with a pumpkin shake."
1 cup half-and-half, almost frozen
1/2 cup whole milk, almost frozen
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, undiluted
2 1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a blender, pour half-and-half, milk, juice concentrate, ice cream, pumpkin puree, nutmeg and cinnamon; blend until smooth. For a creamier consistency, add more ice cream. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
Makes 5 to 6 cups
