No-Churn Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Recipe & photo courtesy of www.lmld.com Pumpkin Gnocchi with Sage Butter Sauce Photo & recipe courtesy of www.pinchofyum.com Ingredients: • 1 pint heavy cream • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk • 2/3 cup canned pumpkin • 1/2 tsp cinnamon • 1/8 tsp ground cloves • 1/8 tsp ground ginger • 1/8 tsp nutmeg GRAHAM CRACKER PECAN CRUMB: • 3 graham cracker sheets • 1/3 cup pecans • 2 TBSP butter (softened) • 1/2 TBSP sugar Preparation: Pour your heavy cream into a large mixing bowl and whip until it becomes whipped cream, with stiff peaks (about 15 minutes). Combine your sweetened condensed milk, canned pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg in another large bowl and mix well. Grind your graham crackers and pecans to make a fine crumb. Mix your butter and sugar with your graham cracker pecan crumb. Set aside. Scoop your heavy cream in with your sweetened condensed mixture and fold together until thoroughly mixed. Pour 1/3 of your ice cream into a 3 qt container. Sprinkle half of your crumb mixture over the top. Pour additional 1/3 over and spread out to even, sprinkling the last of the crumb on top, and finishing with the last third of the ice cream on top. Cover and place in freezer for at least 6 hours. Ingredients: PUMPKIN GNOCCHI: • 1 medium-large russet baking potato • 1 cup pumpkin puree • 1 egg • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour • 1 teaspoon salt • 2 TBSP salted butter in half sticks SAGE BUTTER SAUCE: • 2 TBSP salted butter in half sticks • a few sage leaves and a smashed clove of garlic • 1 tablespoon flour • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream • 1/2 cup starchy water (leftover from boiling the gnocchi) Preparation: Potato Prep: Bake the potato and pull off the skin. Let the potato rest for a while to cool down. Once it’s cool enough to handle, grate it until you have about 1 1/2 cups of very fine potato shreds. Gnocchi Dough: Mix potato shreds with pumpkin puree. Measure flour onto a clean surface and put the potato/pumpkin mixture in the center. Make a well and crack your egg into it. Sprinkle salt on top. Grab a fork and whisk up the egg real quick. Using your hands, mix all ingredients into a dough. Don’t overmix. When it starts to come together, form the dough into a mostly smooth, rounded little loaf. Gnocchi Prep: Cut off slices of the mound and roll each one into a long rope. Cut the rope into bite sized pieces. Place the gnocchi pieces on a plate (make sure they’ve got a little flour coating so they don’t stick). Cooking the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the gnocchi, carefully, one at a time, to the water. You may need to work in batches. When the gnocchi rise to the top of the pot of boiling water, immediately remove them with a slotted spoon. Set aside. Melt your butter in a large nonstick skillet. Pan fry the gnocchi, undisturbed, to get one side lightly crispy and leave the other side soft. Remove from pan and set aside to wait for sauce. Butter Sauce: In the same pan, add butter, sage leaves, and garlic clove. Let the garlic and sage cook for a few minutes over low heat. When the sage leaves are starting to get crispy, remove from heat. Remove garlic as well. When it’s melted, add the flour and whisk. Add the heavy cream and whisk. Add the starchy water slowly, whisking to make a sauce that is the consistency you want. Toss with gnocchi, top with sage leaves and Parmesan.
