It is getting pretty cold here in Portland. You'd think I would not want cold food, right? Well. When I found some dairy free egg nog (what??) the other day, I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it.
I am so happy I did. This is some of the most delicious ice cream I have ever had! Right on up there with Chubby Hubby (you cannot go wrong with chocolate covered, peanut butter filled pretzels inside ice cream!) and Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter (am I being redundant?).
Point being, this is good. So Very Good.
pumpkin ice cream
2 cups Silk nog
1 cup coconut milk (full fat canned)
½ cup pumpkin puree
½ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons vanilla
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Blend the Nog, milk and tapioca flour in high powered blender until fluffy (by hand or with the whisk attachment on your stand mixer). Combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla and spices; fold into milk mixture. Prepare according to ice cream maker instructions.
This is pumpkin sweet cream. The Nog makes it incredibly rich and the maple syrup and cinnamon lend a warm sweetness. Incredible.
I hope everyone wants pumpkin ice cream for Thanksgiving - it's whats for dinner dessert!
Do you only eat ice cream in the warm months, or are you a year 'round fan?
What interesting flavor would you like to see me make into an ice cream?

No way! And here I've mentioned DISliking soy nog in my post today---I can only imagine that Silk's nog is better than Soy Nice's nog... and that maybe it is all together better to serve it in pumpkin ice cream!
I've wanted an ice cream maker addition for my KitchenAid for 3 years... I'm imagining a matcha frozen yogurt, so that it's got the tartness of the fro yo and the depth of the matcha, and NOT TOO SWEET because I control sugar---can you imagine a dairy-free way of meeting those criteria? 😀

Ice cream is never something I eat regularly. But at the same time, if I crave it, I'll go to Baskin Robbin's in the middle of January for it! The weather doesn't bother me... 🙂
spabettie says
I don't crave it either... I just love to make it!! 🙂 🙂 keeping my friends & family happy!

Yum! I wish I had an ice cream maker-- I can eat it throughout the year. I saw the Silk nog in the store the other day and was curious about it, but haven't tried it yet.
spabettie says
it was PERFECT for this... I think the nog made it so rich and OH MY STARS awesome 🙂
Lisa says
I saw eggnog ice cream and pumpkin ice cream in the store. I was so tempted to try it! I wish I could try it in a small container in case I don't like it.... 😉
spabettie says
I cannot imagine you wouldn't... but with the little tiny cup size ones they don't have pumpkin? I'd keep looking, I bet they do soon...

That looks AMAZING! Chubby Hubby and Tillamook Choco Peanut Butter are my total favs for ice cream!! I am not a big ice cream fan but those two are the BOMB! Yummo.
spabettie says
