Ice Creams

Taking advantage of the spirit of Pumpkin Pie, I decided to transform it into ice cream. After all, ice cream is a reason to live.

The dough is practically the pie filling, but chilled. Of course, there are some differences here and there, but the flavor is very similar. I use the same spices and the base is pumpkin puree. So, it is to be expected that they are related.

What changes a little is the texture, precisely due to the puree. It adds a weight/density to the ice cream. Therefore, it is not as level as normal ice cream. Especially since we don’t use ice cream, so there’s no extra air added.

It’s very creamy and dense. Plus, of course, loaded with pumpkin and spice flavor. You need to like this combination.
