I was first introduced to pumpkin ice cream at the elementary age. I don't recall who got me to try it-- it must have been either a double dare by a classmate or at my grandmother's request, and I didn't want to hurt her feelings. As a kid I was ridiculously picky about my food. And I know there is no way I would've tried it "on my own." But one lick of pumpkin ice cream and I was hooked for life.
We enjoyed it every fall-- matter of fact my fall wasn't complete as a kid if I didn't have at least one pumpkin ice cream cone from Fashion Farm Fantasyland, a local restaurant in northern Indiana with a unique fall pumpkin display.
Undoubtedly, I look forward to making this recipe every year. And once you try it-- you will be hooked too.
