Spiced Pumpkin 'ice Cream'

[sickchick]

I got my ice cream maker!! I got my ice cream maker!

It's chilling in the freezer right now.

Spiced Pumpkin 'Ice Cream'

Gluten, Soy & Dairy Free

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 cups rice, soy, almond or dairy milk (organic, whole)

2 tb dark rum

1 ts pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup white sugar

1 ts cinnamon

1/2 ts ginger

1/4 ts cardamom

Instructions for basic, 1 1/2 quart ice cream maker.

Combine ALL ingredients in a large mixing bowl and combine (using a whisk or

hand mixer) until sugar is dissolved.

Turn machine on and pour mixture into freezer bowl through ingredient spout.

Let mix until thickened, about 25-30 minutes.

I like mine with pure maple syrup on top! hahaha and toasted hazelnuts.

(now if I had my waffle cone maker thingie I'd have gluten free ginger waffle cones to put it in...

Enjoy!

I have a can of pumpkin in the kitchen, and I think I'll make this tonight! I've been craving "ice cream"--although I'll make it with my almond milk. I may cut back somewhat on the sugar, too.

I'll let you know how it comes out--thanks!

[sickchick]

thanks j.a.

i may even just go to walmart and see what kind of cheapness they have over there. i know, have a can of pumpkin in my cupboard that i was just eyeing

[jerseyangel]

I'm a little disappointed....I went to make the ice cream and I realized that the bucket to my ice cream maker wasn't frozen

We moved here last fall--in my old house, I used to keep it in the freezer all the time so I could make some when the mood hit. I put it in just now, so I'll be able to make it tomorrow

Sweetfudge I think Walley's carries Hamilton Beach or something like that. The one here is under construction so I couldn't find where they moved their electronics to! Target had one too but it was a little rinky-dinky and I didn't trust it to last through one summer.

jerseyangel that is exactly what I am waiting on... this bottom part to freeze already! HAHAHAHA

Sorry for the double post!

Mine is done and I am not sure if it's just mine.. but I am not so sure about the texture, the puree seems to be seperating from my rice milk... maybe mine wasn't quite cold enough.

Will practice. Let me know how all of your's turns out!

It tastes YUMMY it just seems watery to me...

lovelove!

Kay it's an hour later, and I stuck it in the freezer in a tupperware and I stirred it up and it's fine now!

YAY!!!

Don't commercial ice creams often have gums like guar, locust bean, or xanthan? That might help thicken and emulsify it.

I've been kicking around some ideas to make an "ice cream" sort of thing using coconut, no sugar, no dairy, and no eggs. But I need to use a blender since that's all I got besides "wrist power". I hope I'm not expecting too much

I saw a recipe for cocunut banana ice cream somewhere. But I just figured I would freeze the bananas and put them in my Vita-Mix with full fat cocunut milk with a little vanilla extract, pinch of salt and some stevia if needs more sweetness. Just a touch of stevia so it isnt bitter. And considered adding pineapple to it. Pina Colada ice cream. Yummy!!

I know I have seen a lot of Soy Lecithin and Carageenan in ice creams, I could try Xantham and see if it doesn't help next time!

Good luck churning, Riceguy! HAHAHAHA

Pineapple is one of my favorites to put in with coconut in various recipes But too much water content will form ice when frozen. I did one experiment with something in the fridge that resembled ice cream quite nicely, but frozen it was too solid due to water content. I'm inclined to think coconut cream would work better than the milk, or just the pure oil.

On the Stevia, I've found the pure powder to be free of bitterness. The liquids do have an aftertaste IMO. I use Simply-Stevia, by Stevita. It's not only the highest purity available, but the only one not produced in China. In my early experimenting with Stevia, I found it tastes better when the food is cold. I also find that adding salt really helps. I probably use about the same measure of salt as Stevia, though I generally don't measure the salt.

If you chill bananas, they get very brown. The skin will turn black in the fridge, and brown in the freezer.

I made it a little while ago, and am having some right now!

It's really good--I used almond milk and only 1/2 cup of brown sugar and it's plenty sweet enough for me.

I topped mine with a touch of pure maple syrup and some chopped walnuts! Delicious!!! Thanks again, Collette

[sickchick]

YAY Fantastic news! I don't think I can have almond milk, the brand we have here @ my store has carageenan in it and I am intolerant

Thanks for playing jerseyangel! HAHAHAHA
