Instructions

Pumpkin Spice Milkshakes

  1. Combine ice cream, milk, and a few drops orange food coloring in a blender.
  2. Blend until creamy.

Pumpkin Spice Marshmallows

  1. Combine the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice in a small bowl. Mix until combined. Set aside.
  2. Combine the gelatin and ¼ cup cold water in a large bowl. Set aside.
  3. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and ¼ cup cold water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium high heat until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Raise heat to high and cook until mixture reaches 240 degrees. Remove from heat.
  5. On a low speed, beat the dissolved gelatin, slowly pouring the sugar mixture into it.
  6. Beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick, about 15 minutes.
  7. Add the vanilla and pumpkin mixture. Beat until fully incorporated. Stir in a few drops of orange food coloring, if desired.
  8. Using a mesh sieve, generously dust an 8x12 inch glass baking dish with powdered sugar. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the dish. Smooth the top and dust with more powdered sugar.
  9. Allow mixture to stand for 8 hours or until it dries out.
  10. Once dried, turn out the marshmallows onto a cutting board. Cut into Mickey shapes using a small cookie cutter. Dust with more powdered sugar.
