Jessica Seinfeld, eat your heart out — I just made pumpkin ice cream for my four-year-old. Yes, ice cream with a vegetable in it, and get this — he asked for it. That’s right. Some would even have referred to it as begging. So when my self-proclaimed squash hater begs for pumpkin ice cream, is there really a choice?
There’s not even a small part of me that would have thought to put pureed pumpkin in ice cream, but Owen decided he wanted “pumpkin freeze” (still not clear on exactly what that was supposed to look like) at about the same time he realized he finished off all of the coconut milk ice cream yesterday, so our pumpkin coconut ice cream was born.

Ingredients:
Whisk together ingredients until well combined and freeze according to your ice cream maker’s directions.
This ice cream screams autumn (lame pun semi-intentional). There’s only a hint of pumpkin flavor and I love the texture the puree adds. We ate most of this ice cream right out of the maker with our three combating spoons, but it would be perfect on apple crisp or poached pears.
