I plan to post today and also posted for Pumpkin Week on Monday for Pumpkin and Beet Salad. And again on Wednesday for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.
But today is pumpkin ice cream, the easiest way. I find the flavor to be perfect without the hassle of cooking a frozen custard mix.
The flavor is not overly pumpkin and spice heavy. Too much of that and I don’t like it. I want it to still be very light and creamy.
Serving Ideas
And this is perfect for serving with pumpkin pie ala mode. Or don’t be shy- bury it in hot fudge, hot caramel with whipped cream and pecans. And can you imagine the banana split you can make with this? Wowsers. But maybe if you just like it simple, tuck a freshly baked oatmeal cookie in on the side of your scoop. Yum.
But more than anything else, since this dessert uses ready made ice cream, there is a plus side. Pick the one that fits your diet needs, be it sugar-free, fat-free, vegan, etc. If you go sugar-free, maybe use Swerve brown sugar blend instead of actual brown sugar. That one is very low carb.
