Get dessert ready ahead of time! This Pumpkin Butter Pecan Ice Cream with Caramel Ribbons doesn’t require a machine and is loaded with amazing pumpkin flavor!
Bryce has been asking, no, begging me to make him pumpkin ice cream since the beginning of September. I finally complied.
At first the thought of pumpkin ice cream kind of had me going ewww, and then the more I thought about it I was like hmmm and now I’m like dang – I need to listen to Bryce more often!
Now of course this ice cream doesn’t require a machine. Me and churning? Not BFFs. This ice cream is oh-so easy and packed full of pumpkin flavor.
The star of the show is the butter pecans. The pecans are thrown in a pan of butter and coked for several minutes until both the butter and pecans are fragrant and lightly browned. Pure heaven. These guys get to cool down while the rest of the ice cream is put together.
I used real pumpkin in this recipe to give it an authentic pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin pie spice and International Delight’s Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer give it that extra oomph of awesomeness that takes this ice cream over the top.
I swirled in the pecans and loads of caramel ice cream topping (get the very thickest kind) so every bite is loaded with crunch and creamy sweetness.
Serve this along side any pie or on it’s own for a true taste of the season. Trust me, one scoop just won’t do.
