I used to wait for it to come out every year.  Last year, I bought a half-gallon, and ate a single, wonderful teaspoonful of it.  <\/p>\n<p>This year, we have our ice cream maker, and several weeks ago Mrs. ShottleBop made a batch of pumpkin pie ice cream for me, using unsweetened canned pumpkin.  Yesterday, I wanted more.   We hit Smart &amp; Final, Trader Joe&#8217;s, and Ralphs, looking for canned pumpkin.  Nada. BUT, we had bought a box of sweet potatoes recently.  So we baked a sweet potato, and Mrs. ShottleBop made sweet potato pie ice cream.  I cleaned out what was left in the freezer bowl after the rest had been scooped into single-serving bowls and placed in the freezer.  It makes a good substitute (yes, heavier on the carbs and sugar* than pumpkin, but not enough to worry about, when you consider it&#8217;s divided into 8 portions, and when you really want that flavor). <\/p>\n<p>All amounts (except for the number of eggs) approximate.<\/p>\n<p>One medium sweet potato, baked to softness.<br \/>\nQuart of coconut cream<br \/>\n1\/4 or so of SF syrup (we used vanilla bean, but caramel, almond, etc. would work as well).<br \/>\nHowever many packets of TruVia you want for additional sweetness<br \/>\nPumpkin pie spices (we use the Trader Joe&#8217;s premix) to taste<br \/>\n3 eggs<\/p>\n<p>Mix everything up in the blender, then pour into the freezer bowl and start your machine.<\/p>\n<p>Fresh, it&#8217;s soft and creamy; frozen, it&#8217;s like a rock.  30 seconds in the microwave makes it acceptably spoonable. <\/p>\n<p>____________<br \/>\nFrom Calorie King (info for one medium-sized sweet potato):<\/p>\n<p>Total Carbs 23.6g; Dietary Fiber 3.8g; Sugars 9.6g (divide by 8 for the amount in a single serving of the ice cream; the other ingredients add hardly any more, and there&#8217;s enough fat to keep it from hitting your BG right away).<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pumpkin pie ice cream is one of my favorites.
