As kids go back to school and leaves begin to turn up north, it’s still hot here in North Carolina. Seriously, it’s still in the 80’s and 90’s almost every day. I’m looking forward to the end of this heat and the arrival of sweater weather! I yearn for the smell of autumn leaves after a good rain. I long for taking long walks in the crisp air. Most of all, I dream of pumpkin spice and a cup of tea.

The extended heat doesn’t keep me from avoiding pumpkin recipes, however. No way! I love pumpkin spices too much! Autumn treats make me feel like it’s fall, no matter what the weather is like outside. I may still enjoy pumpkin spice, but I change the way I enjoy it to match the weather outside.

With this recipe, I don’t heat up the kitchen by turning on the oven! Instead, I do some brief cooking on the stove and then let the ice cream maker do the work! Ice-cream is the perfect way to enjoy pumpkin when summer heat just won’t leave!

This ice-cream is more like frozen custard than some of our other ice-creams. It’s like pumpkin pie filling that’s been turned into ice-cream. I use eggs, cream, and real pumpkin puree for clean, real food taste.

This Low-Carb Candied Pecan Pumpkin Ice-Cream uses a half batch of my candied pecan recipe. I recommend that you make an entire batch of pecans, then just use half in the ice-cream. These tasty little pecans have a way disappearing. If you start with a whole batch, hopefully you’ll still have half when it’s time to add them into the ice-cream.  If you have extras, they make a great snack, or can be used to garnish the ice-cream.Of course, if you don’t like pecans, they can always be left out.

This Low-Carb Candied Pecan Pumpkin Ice-Cream recipe makes a great pumpkin spice dessert for those warmer days in early fall, or anytime that pumpkin spice craving comes over you.
