Ingredients
- 1/4 cup(s) water
- 11/2 tablespoon(s) gelatin, grass-fed
- 11/2 cup(s) coconut milk, full fat
- 1 cup(s) pumpkin puree, organic
- 1/2 medium avocado(s) mashed, about 1/2 cup for 8 servings
- 1/2 cup(s) spinach packed
- 1/2 cup(s) maple syrup
- 11/2 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1 package(s) Creepy crawlers or your favorite Halloween toppers
Instructions
- Add the coconut milk to a small saucepan and warm over low to medium heat. Do not simmer or boil.
- While the coconut milk is heating up, place the water in a bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over the surface to "bloom". It will absorb all the water and form a soft gel.
- When the milk is warm, remove from heat and whisk in the gelatin until dissolved.
- Add the pumpkin puree, avocado, spinach leaves, maple syrup and? ground cinnamon to a blender and puree.
- Add the coconut milk/gelatin mixture to the blender (make sure the lid is secure as warm liquids expand when processed) and blend until smooth.
- Pour into individual 4oz dessert bowls, ramekins or mason jars or a large serving bowl and chill for at least 1 hour for individual servings and 6 hours for a large bowl until set.
- Decorate with your favorite Halloween toppers.
