Crème à la Pumpkin, in Ice Cream form

I had planned on putting this one in the ‘zine, but I don’t want to anymore. la donna si muove, what can I say?

1/2 cup cashew butter
1 cup pure pumpkin puree
2 t vanilla extract
3/4 cup soy yogurt [plain or vanilla]
1/2 cup chestnut cream/puree [if you cannot find this where you live, it's a damn shame! but seriously, use 1/3 cup brown sugar instead. it might change the consistency a little bit but it's mostly used for the sweetening aspect anyway, although it really adds a nice touch.]
8 ginger snaps cookies, chopped [or other ginger-y type of cookie. spekuloos would work well too!]
1 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/2 t ginger
1 T agave nectar [if using brown sugar instead of chestnut cream, do not use agave nectar]

place all ingredients [except for cookies!] in food processor. process until smooth, scraping sides with a spoon halfway through.
place batter in ice cream maker, follow manufacturer’s instructions, throw in cookie bits during the last 5 minutes of churning.

makes 6 servings

  4. I was eyeing this recipe (perhaps I should finally try out my very cheap ice cream maker?) I’ll probably have to sub the cashew butter for almond butter though.

    PS-You’re a doll! The bread was amazing!

  11. I just saw chestnut puree in the supermarket! I would have never even noticed it had it not been for you. Now, I have to get up the courage to … actually buy it! Very excited.
