    Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

    Pumpkins for pumpkin ice cream

    As today is Thanksgiving, it seemed to make sense to make some typical Thanksgiving foods in today's cooking class. I'm on an ice cream kick at the moment and I really love pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie ice cream was the perfect variation on the traditional Thanksgiving dessert theme. Fresh, pureed pumpkin, cream and sugar plus all the wonderful spices you'd normally see in a pumpkin pie.

    We also made pumpkin souffles. Piping hot from the oven accompanied by pumpkin pie ice cream made for a perfect Thanksgiving dessert combination.

    Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

    Ingredients:

    • 120 ml / ½ cup cream
    • 120 ml / ½ cup condensed milk
    • 100 grams / ½ cup sugar

    • ½ teaspoon salt
