“Pumpkin Pie” Ice Cream

Imagine my anticipation when I created this recipe and then waited forthe ice cream maker to churn out the finished product. Then there was the firstbite. It was heavenly! I had created my new and favorite way to enjoy squash—inice cream. This delightful treat, which doesn’t actually contain pumpkins,tastes like creamy pumpkin pie without the crust, or perhaps even better.
