Pumpkin Ice Cream & Spiced Waffle Bowls


Yes, I got a new gadget at the end of summer. Actually, I got two…but I won’t talk about the awesome cotton candy maker right now. I’ll stay on task and report my new love: the waffle cone maker. Totally unnecessary, I know. Keebler makes perfectly good & safe waffle bowls.  Problem is, I’m an ice cream fanatic and there isn’t much that tops a scoop of ice cream in a fresh waffle bowl. And if it’s pumpkin ice cream, oh man, this will convert those of you sad sacks who only eat ice cream in the summer into year round lovers. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Ice Cream
  • 20 big marshmallows
  • 1 pint Silk creamer
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  1. Place the marshmallows in a large bowl and microwave 1 minute. Remove and stir, keep returning to the microwave to heat 30 seconds at a time until the marshmallows are smooth and melted.
  2. Add the pint of soy creamer, pumpkin, sugar, spices, salt, vanilla & oil and whisk until smooth.
  3. Place in the refrigerator until cold.
  4. Freeze in your ice cream maker, according to directions and enjoy! I have a Cuisinart ice cream maker with an extra freezer bowl that works really well. It’s worth buying one, seeing how expensive dairy and egg-free ice cream can be…and you can make much cooler flavors at home!

Spiced Waffle Bowls
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour (I use Swan’s Down, be careful, Pillsbury Softasilk has dairy and egg)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup melted dairy-free margarine (I use Fleischmann’s Unsalted Margarine)
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk beverage (like Silk Pure Coconut)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • dash of cloves
  1. In a food processor, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, powdered sugar, spices & salt.
  2. Add the wet ingredients: margarine, coconut milk, vanilla. Pulse until smooth.
  3. Heat up the waffle cone iron, bake and shape.
  4. I use a small ramekin to shape the bowls, but any small bowl will work. I just place the hot waffle over top of the bowl and press the hot waffle down inside, folding and pressing it into shape.
  5. I'm sure you know this, but don't try making these in a regular waffle maker...disaster.

    this recipe sounds wonderful! i am really curious about your cotton candy maker though…i’ve thought about getting one and wondered if you could share some details! :) We DO have the cuisinart ice cream maker and love love love it. One of my daughters has severe egg, peanut, tree nut and sesame allergies. My kids think it is SO cool to make ice cream at home. We’d love to try cotton candy at home…I’m sure our dentist will appreciate it! ;)
