It’s pumpkin time and I’ve been really wanting a pumpkin ice cream that resembles the flavor of my mom’s pumpkin chip cookies. Since I’ve been making THM ice cream for years, I thought I’d have my go at making pumpkin chip ice cream. I simply started with my vanilla base and added all of the yummy pumpkin flavors to make it taste like the pumpkin shakes you can get at fast food joints this time of year without all of the nasty ingredients and sugar. Adding chocolate chips takes it to another level! I use plenty of pumpkin pie spice because I love that flavor, but if you prefer you can always use less. My family absolutely loved it, even my picky 7 yr old who DOES NOT like pumpkin so I think it’s a keeper!
