Hi, Happy Fall! Deb again from Cooking on the Front Burner and I’m starting to get into fall flavors for desserts. While I’m sure most of you are baking, I decided to give making pumpkin ice cream a try and since it is pumpkin it counts for fall 🙂 This summer I purchased a Cuisinart ice cream maker and so far have only made vanilla – I know – pretty bland! But this recipe is really great with pumpkin puree and spices. If you own an ice cream maker, you know that when it first is done, it is very creamy. My husband and I took these ginger snaps (not homemade) and dipped them in the ice cream. Wow – that was really good! However, taking pictures of very soft ice cream is a challenge so I firmed this up a bit so I didn’t have a ‘milkshake’ to film!
