Scooping out Pumpkin Spice Caramel Pecan Ice Cream

It could be snowing outside, and I’d still eat ice cream. Ice cream is one of my favorite desserts and I’d take it over cake or pastries any day of the week. I typically will go for a cookies and cream or mint chip but during the fall months I enjoy tasty flavors like pumpkin pie, apple crisp and even cinnamon. There are a lot of different combinations that you can try by adding a few toppings to store-bought ice cream or making your own ice cream at home! Start by making my delicious Pumpkin Spice Caramel Pecan ice cream or any of the other 5 fall-inspired ice cream flavors from below!

Pumpkin Spice Caramel Pecan – This recipe uses a traditional vanilla bean ice cream base and gets turned up by the addition of toasted pecans and the Limited-Edition Pumpkin Spice Caramel dip from Litehouse. The spicy flavor of this dip will make you feel like you’re eating a slice of pumpkin pie!

Pecan Turtle – Swirl in a few spoons of Chocolate Caramel dip with your favorite cashew or pecan ice cream to replicate one of America’s favorite candies!

Pear and Ginger – Grab a pint of cinnamon ice cream and sauté freshly chopped pears with a bit of sugar and ginger for a spicy, fall flavor.  Top with crushed gingersnap cookies for the ultimate treat.

Chocolate Pretzel – Using a base of either chocolate or vanilla ice cream, add in crushed pretzels and Chocolate Caramel dip for a salty/sweet dessert.

Don’t take my word for it, these flavors are going to all have you asking for seconds. I’d start with the Pumpkin Spice Caramel Pecan ice cream and work your way down this fall. If you run out, make up some tasty flavors of your own using some of your favorite fall ingredients!
