Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream from Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbook

Make this ice cream and serve it with my pumpkin bread. You know what’s special about both of these recipes?

They have come through friendship.

The Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream comes from the Third Thursday Community Potluck Cookbook by fellow food writer, Nancy Vienneau.

When she started the Thursday Community Potluck, back in 2009. I didn’t know Nancy at the time,  and I haven’t experienced these potlucks  but I’ve heard about them. Judging from the recipes in the book, these were special times. Nancy, along with another friend would invite 80 people, no assigned food, no RSVP. Twenty or so people would show up with covered dishes, and seasonal fare. It became quite a thing, which led to a cookbook, full of seasonal recipes and delightful cocktails.

Potlucks can be the start of many friendships, yet many people are fearful of inviting people into their homes because they don’t have the perfect house, large space, etc. Just invite gracious people who embrace community and love good food. Good food lovers tend to be less concerned with how your sofa looks, and are happy to sip sangria and eat butternut squash and leek lasagna (also found in the cookbook).

My wish for you this holiday season is to invite a bunch of friends over for an old fashioned potluck and see what happens.

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream pairs well with Sandy’s Pumpkin Bread Recipe Here (there’s a powerful story here)

I’m also sharing my favorite potluck salad that everyone raves over. If you make this ice cream with fresh pumpkin, save the seeds to roast and use for this Autumn Kale Salad.

  1. Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is definitely on my T-Gives menu this year. I’ve seen several versions (churn, no-churn) but if you vouch for this one then I’ve found it. GREG
