Take Two: ISO Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe

[Peggy]

My previous post on this topic says it has errors and doesn't show...I will now try again!

I need a recipe for pumpkin ice cream for my CL Supper Group on Saturday night. I was sure I would be able to find one so I volunteered to bring it. Have checked all of my cookbooks and looked on internet food sites with no luck. HELP!!! Any recipe will do at this point! Otherwise, I will have to resort to Baskin Robbins!

Many Thanks!

Hi Peggy!

Why not try going to http://www.google.com and typing the words "pumpkin ice cream" (I did it without the quotation marks) in the search box? I just tried this and came up with quite a few hits. Good luck and let us know if you find a winner!

pumpkin ice cream
1 1/2 cups light cream
6 egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups canned solid pack pumpkin

Scald cream in heavy saucepan. Whisk yolks, sugar and vanilla in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the cream, add the spice. Return to saucepan and stir over medium-low heat until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes; do not boil. Remove from heat. Whisk in the heavy cream and the pumpkin. Strain into bowl. Refrigerate until well chilled.

Transfer to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions.

Natasha,

BLESS YOU!!!! I didn't know about this site! (Of course, my husband apparently did but didn't bother to share it with me as I was stressing out about the pumpkin ice cream recipe. He just said so!)

Thank you SO much! I just looked and they have all kinds of ideas.

Gratefully Yours,

Peggy
