The pumpkin recipes continue this week with my favorite dessert, home made ice cream! I served this dish after Thanksgiving dinner last year, before everyone had indulged in too much pie. I really wanted to give them a change from the traditional pumpkin pie that they were all so attached to. It worked!
I can't say enough wonderful things about this dessert. I crave it regularly, and every time I see this photo, I sigh and I long for fall. Finally, its HERE!
Oh, and by the way, Trader Joe's has the BEST Praline Pecans! If you make this dessert, use them!
