Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.
Let me guess: you’re ready for pumpkin desserts even though it’s still hot outside. Are you already ordering pumpkin spice lattes? Is that you in the drive-thru line in front of me, accepting a venti pumpkin spice latte through the window with eagerness unparalleled at 7am? It’s cool. I'll wait the extra 10 seconds in line so that you can Instagram it, too. Don’t forget the hashtag #PSL10.
I’m ready for pumpkin desserts, too. In fact, when we were in Chicago last weekend, we took a quick trip to Amish country where my husband ordered pumpkin pie. I was a little embarrassed because he ate his pie so quickly that the waitress thought she forgot to serve it. Those sweet Amish ladies must have assumed I starve my husband of the delights of pie. When in fact, he eats PLENTY of desserts (including an entire pan of this one).
Let’s ease into this pumpkin season with a frozen pumpkin dessert. I made you an intense pumpkin ice cream. You’re going to love it. Because pumpkin is so dense and rich, you don’t need heavy cream for this recipe---whole milk only. So, essentially, this ice cream is good for you. Also, I knew you needed extra protein, so I stirred in meringue streaks after it churned. Wait, that’s a lie. I love the taste of fluffy meringue in ice cream. By the way, if raw egg whites both you, use pasteurized eggs, ok?
One more question: do you or do you not want salted caramel sauce on top of this mess?
You do. Trust me.
The perfect pumpkin dessert for the warm weather. Recipe adapted from David Lebovitz's Sweet Potato Ice Cream in his book The Perfect Scoop (10 Speed Press, 2007).Pumpkin Meringue Ice Cream

You're cracking me up - I feel like I need to go to starbucks STAT, do some instagraming and a little #PSL10 #PumpkinForDays #PumpkinInMyFace Okay, I'm not really up on my hashtags, but gimmeeee pumpkin!!! Your ice cream looks delicious! Pumpkin includes all the vitamins I happen to have deficit right now, so I'm thinking I need some pumpkin vitamins in the form of cool delicious dessert. :)

what a great way to ease into pumpkin season. I can't bring myself to order a PSL just yet, but pumpkin ice creams sounds fantastic. Our sugar pumpkins are about two weeks out. I can't wait!
Stefanie @ Sarcastic Cooking says
Oh yes, salted caramel is a must on this! I was definitely guilty of getting a pumpkin spice latte last week. I however waited until I got home to Instagram it. I know how nuts those drive-thru lines can be and I also know how irritable people get when they want their caffeine fix.

I am so ready to hop aboard this pumpkin train. Although I just can't get into pumpkin spice lattes - they have a weird after-taste that really turns me off. This ice cream however - yes please!
