Pumpkin Ice Cream and Snickerdoodles

Last week I got a hankerin' for pumpkin ice cream. We love all things pumpkin around here, but pumpkin ice cream is a real treat. We usually get it at the local ice cream parlor, but it's soooo pricey, I thought I'd give it a whirl. It could not have been easier.

I used my handy-dandy ice cream maker. And the recipe was as simple as stirring the ingredients. I paired it with Snickerdoodles -- our favorite cinnamon cookie -- for a yummy weeknight dessert.

Pumpkin Ice Cream

14 oz. can of pumpkin
1 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup milk
2 cups whipping cream

Mix ingredients, chill thoroughly, and pour
into Ice Cream Maker.
