A relatively lowfat icecream but still creamy due to the pumpkin puree

See the "Glossary of Cooking Terms" for information about toasting and glazing nuts

Do not use smoky pine nuts in this recipe For more information refer the pine nut listing

in the "Glossary of Ingredients" (at the beginning of this book)

CUSTARD

/ cup pecans raw

/ cup agave nectar

/ cup maple syrup

cup water

/ cups pumpkin puree

tablespoons amaretto (optional)

tablespoon vanilla extract

/ teaspoon lecithin

GARNISH

/ teaspoon ground cinnamon

tablespoons pecans toasted chopped

/ teaspoon ground cardamom

teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch sea salt

Start with all custard ingredients as cold as possible

Blend all custard ingredients except pumpkin puree amaretto and vanilla at a very high speed until nuts are

completely pureed (not gritty) and mixture is smooth (about minutes at high speed or longer for blenders that

blend at lower speeds)

Part way through the blending turn off the machine and use a spatula along the sides of the blender to dislodge

any nuts or other ingredients that might be clinging to the inside walls This should reduce the number of

unblended bits in the final custard mixture

Add the pumpkin puree amaretto and vanilla and blend again until well integrated smooth and frothy Total

time for blending should be about minutes

It is best to freeze ice cream custard when the custard is cold If the mixture is too warm some ice cream makers

will not be able to fully freeze the mixture Therefore in general it is recommended that the mixture be

refrigerated before it is placed in the ice cream maker

When freezing the custard in an ice cream maker follow the manufacturer's direction for freezing In general

freezing takes approximately minutes but this will vary depending upon the machine ingredients and

temperature of the mixture

If you do not have an ice cream maker pour into a large rectangular pan freeze until solid (but not hard) and

blend again Freeze in a regular bowl Remove from freezer about minutes before serving

Garnish individual serving with cinnamon Makes about cups
