I wanted to lighten the pumpkin spice ice cream recipe, so I decided to use Fat-Free Milk, opt for less sugar, and less whipping cream. Also, I used 1 cup of fresh pumpkin puree which I posted a few days ago. The taste is as good as it looks!
Anyway a few years ago, while everyone was out buying the iPhone, iPod or the latest gadget in the tech world, I was looking for an ice cream maker. Oh yeah... you could say I am a kitchen geek, and found one I liked. I bought a Cuisinart Automatic Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, and since then, we have been making all kinds of fabulous flavors!
If you don't have one, I highly recommend getting one. It's fun for the whole family making home-made ice creams, yogurts and sorbets!
