Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream – Lightened!

 
A lightened but still marvelously creamy, this Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream tastes like a pumpkin pie only without the crust, and it’s frozen!  I know it’s October, but I love to eat ice cream 12 months out of the year!  It’s smooth, creamy, and very light, and totally AMAZING!!

Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream – Lightened …

I  wanted to lighten the pumpkin spice ice cream recipe, so I decided to use fat-free milk and opted for less sugar, and less whipping cream. 

Plus, I used 1 cup of my fresh pumpkin puree which I posted the other day.  

The taste of this ice cream is as good as it looks, with a subtle flavor of pumpkin- that’s not overpowering.  (This is my kind of ice cream!)  😉

If you have pumpkins outside your door, now is the time to bring in the smaller ones to make pumpkin puree. 

Or you can pick up a few extra small ones for this recipe.

A few years ago, while everyone was out buying the iPhone, iPod, or the latest gadget in the tech world, I was looking for an ice cream maker. 

Oh yeah… you could say I am a kitchen geek and found one I liked.  I bought a Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, and since then, we have been making all kinds of fabulous flavors!

If you don’t have one,  I highly recommend getting one. 

It’s fun for the whole family making homemade ice creams, yogurts and sorbets!

ENJOY!!
