Fat Free Pumpkin Ice Cream Food

NO-CHURN PUMPKIN PIE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan in the freezer to chill. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the pie shell with the sugar and cinnamon and bake until the crust is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool, then crumble.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the pumpkin pie filling, condensed milk and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Whip the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold 1 cup of the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture with a rubber spatula until combined, then fold the lightened mixture into the whipped cream until well blended. Pour half of the ice cream into the chilled loaf pan and layer all but 1 cup of the pie crust over it. Top with the remaining ice cream. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid and scoopable, about 3 hours or up to overnight. Serve with a drizzle of caramel sauce and the reserved pie crust.

FAT-FREE PUMPKIN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the first 8 dry ingredients. Gradually add 1 cup of the half-and-half and mix well. Stir in the remaining half-and-half and slowly heat over medium heat until it comes barely to a boil. Remove from heat. Whisk egg substitute until lightly beaten. Very gradually whisk 1 cup of the hot mixture into the eggs. Then return all to the pan whisking constantly. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture reaches 165 degrees.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a metal bowl placed in an ice bath. Stir until cool. Add pumpkin, vanilla, and rum. Mix well.
• Press plastic wrap onto surface of custard to prevent film from forming. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• Fill cylinder of 2 quart ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions. Optional (although this will add traces of fat, but so worth it): Add 2/3 cup graham crackers crumbled into 1/4 inch morsels and 1/3 cup white chocolate chips the last 5 minutes of churning.
• Place in container and allow to firm up in freezer 2-4 hours before serving.
• Note: The nutritional info for fat-free half-and-half is incorrect and throwing off the total fat calculation count. It should calculate to almost zero total fat.

TRULY FAT FREE TRULY DELICIOUS ICE CREAM!

Steps:

• Beat together egg substitutes, sugar, and vanilla well (I do this by hand, but I guess you could use a hand-mixer).
• Add half and half and milk and beat well.
• Keep in refrigerator until ready to use or use immediately if still very cold.
• Pour into ice cream maker and let churn for 25-30 minutes (or follow the instructions that came with your machine for freezing).
• If adding anything, add 5 minutes before freezing process is done.
• You can play around with different extracts and add-ins to come up with various flavors (I think mint extract with chocolate chips would be good).
