Best Spiced Pumpkin Ice Cream Puffs Recipes

PUMPKIN CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the butter, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan, and bring to a full rolling boil. Stir in the flour and beat vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Place the dough ball in a mixing bowl, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg when the last one has been fully incorporated.
• Drop dough by tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet, and bake until the puffs rise and are golden brown on top, with fully-cooked insides, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before filling. Cut the cream puffs horizontally with a serrated knife.
• To make filling, place the cream in the work bowl of an electric mixer, and whip until beginning to thicken, about 1 minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed, and continue mixing until the cream forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes.
• Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the pumpkin puree into the whipped cream. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining pumpkin puree, folding just until incorporated.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cream filling into each puff, and dust the top of each puff with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for garnish. Refrigerate leftovers.

GLUTEN-FREE PUMPKIN SPICE CREAM PUFFS

Steps:

• For the gluten-free flour blend: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthan gum and salt.
• For the puffs: In a small bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt together with 1 cup gluten-free flour blend.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter together with the milk and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and gradually whisk in the flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dough until a ball forms, about 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a food processor and pulse about 20 times to cool. With the motor running, stream in the eggs, egg white and baking powder; process until a smooth dough forms. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet; bake until puffed and golden, about 25 minutes. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit on the sides of each to vent and let cool completely.
• For the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream at high speed until soft peaks start to form. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and spice and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold in the pumpkin puree. Cut the puffs in half and using an ice cream scoop, place mounds of whipped pumpkin cream on the puff bottoms. Set the tops in place and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• 1. Pour the milk and cream into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam but not boil.
• 2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Add 1/3 cup of the sugar and whisk until pale and slightly fluffy.

• 4. Put the pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, remaining sugar, and a dash of rum, if using, into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add to the chilled custard and whisk well. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• 5. When the churning is completed, use a spoon or spatula to scrape the ice cream into a freezer-proof container with a lid. Freeze until it reaches the correct scooping texture (at least 2 hours). Dust each portion with a little ground cinnamon before serving.
