Pumpkin Punch (non-alcoholic)

In my previous post the other day, I mentioned making a Pumpkin Punch and looking for a recipe but all the ones I got were either alcoholic or were just for drinks like lemonade- but I was never able to find a true ice-cream baby/bridal shower/holiday type (you know the good kind).  I am going to bring this to our work's Thanksgiving Lunch and for Thanksgiving with with the family ;)

So after some searching, I added a mixture of things I found from drinks and etc and came up with my own for you pumpkin lovers.

If you have someone allergic to cinnamon, this is not the drink for them.


Recipe for Pumpkin Punch:

1 Can of Libby's Pumpkin Pie Filling
1 (1.5 qt) of Eddy's Pumpkin Pie Edition Icecream
3 tsp of Vanilla Extract
3 tbsp of Cinnamon Sugar
1 pkg of pumpkin spice seasoning
2 tsp of Ginger,  1tsp of Nutmeg, and 2 tsp of ground cinnamon
1-2 liter of Ginger ale or bottle of Sparkling cider (your choice)
1-2 qts of chilled milk


Now, I am giving you measurements but if you are a picky pumpkin eater, you should adjust as needed according to your taste...you may not like as much cinnamon as I do or may like it sweeter with more cinnamon sugar, or less pumpkin filling, nutmeg or ginger..etc. The key is TASTE TASTE TASTE as you add and add a little at a time until it tastes right.


I found my mixture to be a little bland when I added my previous posts's measurements on it and decided to amp up the cinnamon and sugar.

It will froth because of the reaction with the ice cream and ginger ale, so it will sort of be like a float.


Take a big punch-sized bowl, add the milk, softened icecream, gingerale, mix.
Add a little bit of Libby's Pumpkin Pie filling and taste as you go.

Add your pumpkin spice, ginger (taste), nutmeg, (taste) cinnamon (taste) and cinnamon sugar (taste)

Add your vanilla, mixing the whole time. If you get a bunch of seasoning stuck on the top, it may initially taste stronger for your first taste.  (Did I mention taste?)

And there you have it, a lovely orange, pumpkin punch! Add some Cinnamon sticks to your punch or glass for extra garnish.

Another thought if you want to keep the punch cool, is to add ice cubes that you made from cider or apple juice so when it melts it just adds flavor to the punch!  I know someone who liked it very much!

Hope you enjoy!
