Candied Pumpkin Ice Cream Sundaes Food

PUMPKIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine milk, cream, and caramel in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently as caramel melts.
• Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Whisk egg and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. While whisking, very slowly add a little hot milk mixture to egg mixture. Add more milk mixture, whisking, until combined. Add vanilla, lemon juice, and puree; combine. Strain into a clean bowl; chill in ice bath.
• Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. After churning, transfer to freezer until firm. Serve with milk caramel and candied pumpkin, if desired.

PUMPKIN PIE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Spread the melted butter over the pie crust and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely, then crumble and set aside.
• Build your sundaes starting with the pumpkin ice cream, dipping the scoop in a mug of hot water if necessary. Top with the pie crust crumbles, caramel sauce and candied pecans. Serve immediately.

CANDIED PUMPKIN ICE CREAM SYRUP

Steps:

• In medium saucepan combine water, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced by about one-quarter and a light syrup forms, about 15 minutes. Add pumpkin or squash, reduce heat to very low and simmer gently until the pumpkin is translucent, about 45 minutes. If preparing in advance remove the pumpkin from syrup with a slotted spoon and store pumpkin separately. When ready to serve, combine the pumpkin and syrup in a small skillet and reheat over low heat. Just before serving, stir in the heavy cream. Spoon over ice cream and serve.;
