The 2010 Pumpkin Consumption Extravaganza is officially underway. Now that I think of it, I should have that title term coined since it’s a personal event I celebrate every fall. It’s only the fourth day of October and not too many more days than that into autumn, but so far our pumpkin goods tally includes: pumpkin cream cheese tarte, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin oatmeal almost every morning, (maybe a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks thrown into the mix), and now…pumpkin ice cream!
I used a very simple, egg-free recipe (so I didn’t have to make a custard base to start). I used cream, sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and a splash of vanilla. It churned up nice and creamy and tastes just like pumpkin pie! I don’t think my boyfriend was prepared for the repercussions that followed him telling me he likes pumpkin! I can hardly wait to make pumpkin brownies and pumpkin bread…
Shout Out: Happy Birthday to my boyfriend today! I’ll take a brief pumpkin break to make a birthday cake!
