    Wouldn't that freeze into a sorbet-like rock rather than ice cream due to the lack of fat and incorporated air?

    I have no idea. The banana ice cream lovers might know. Pumpkin puree does have a LOT of water. My attempts at real pumpkin ice cream all bricked on me. I just stick to custard-based vanilla with sweet-flavored booze nowadays.

    "Clean eating" *gag*
    The number of fonts is dizzying.
    The recipe itself is an insult to all taste buds.
    Also, that's sorbet, not ice cream.

    If you need a pumpkin pie ice cream recipe, I have one. It ain't "dairy free" or any of that BS, but it's damn good ice cream.

    If anyone tried to make anything out of a halloween pumpkin, they'd tell you it was flavorless at best. A complete waste of time.

    I don't know why they keep showing the halloween stereotype when talking about pumpkin flavor.

    However, there are pumpkins such as the Hokkaido variety that will make an outrageously good pumpkin soup.
    Mmm, Hokkaido...

    True. We make everything "pumpkin" out of halloween pumpkins, and it is completely flavorless, which is why we add cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. What we call "pumpkin flavor" is actually the spices.

    You only need to say it once, but that PSL better be there when I arrive or things are going to turn ugly.

    I really enjoyed Ben and Jerry's pumpkin pie ice cream.

    I saw that Dairy Queen released their pumpkin pie Blizzard. I'm hoping to get one today. o:)

    I always grow about a dozen baby pams in my back yard. They're a more manageable size (like a canteloupe) and have a much darker flesh and richer flavour than jackolanterns.

    I actually like to eat the big pumpkins. I don't think they are tasteless at all and I like the stringy texture in certain recipes, especially in pie and bread.

    Are the bananas necessary? I've never been a fan of bananas.

    I like bananas. I hate *most* things with bananas in them. No clue why all these "healthy alternatives" have bananas except they provide a "natural" source of a lot of sugar. But then everything is banana flavored. :sad:

    In the United States......there are Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins. These were developed for sheer size......these are NOT pumpkins used for baking purposes. These are used for decorative purposes.

    Small, dark orange pumpkins are used for baking. In the U.S. canned pumpkin is available year round.

    If someone made it and offered me some then I would try it but I'd never make it myself. If I want ice cream I eat real ice cream.

    From what I saw on Hack My Life the other night, your actually only supposed to freeze the banana's. Then throw the frozen banana's + optional ingredients in a blender until smooth. I haven't actually tried it yet, so no idea if it works like it showed on tv or not.
