Pumpkin and sage ice cream is a sweet and slightly spicy option, perfect for surprising guests as an appetizer or to accompany autumn dishes. Pumpkin brings a natural creaminess and vibrant color, while sage adds a subtle and comforting herbaceous aroma. With Ninja Creami, you'll get a velvety texture that highlights this combination of warm flavors.
Ingredients :
- 200g of pumpkin puree (steamed or roasted, then pureed)
- 100 ml of whole liquid cream
- 100 ml of whole milk
- 15 fresh sage leaves (or adjust according to desired intensity)
- A pinch of salt (to enhance the flavors)
- pepper
Preparation :
- Prepare the pumpkin-sage base.
In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, cream, milk, salt, and finely chopped sage leaves. The sage should be used sparingly so that it flavors the ice cream without overpowering the mild taste of the pumpkin. - Pour into the Ninja Creami container.
Transfer the mixture into the Ninja Creami container, taking care not to exceed the MAX FILL . Place in the freezer for 24 hours to allow the ice cream to set completely. - Churn using the Ice Cream program.
The next day, insert the container into the Ninja Creami and start the "Ice Cream" . In just a few minutes, you'll have smooth ice cream with a subtle pumpkin and sage flavor. - Respin Tip:
If the texture is a little too firm, use the Respin to soften the consistency. Add a small splash of milk (about 30 ml) if needed for an even smoother texture.
My Personal Tip:
Try this ice cream with toasted walnuts or a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory contrast. It also pairs beautifully with savory dishes, such as mushroom risotto or roasted vegetables, for a sophisticated autumnal touch. Pumpkin and sage are a match made in heaven, and this ice cream will wow your guests with its smooth and subtle flavors.
There you go, your pumpkin and sage ice cream is ready! It's a creamy and delicate blend that captures the spirit of autumn, perfect for seasonal dishes or an elegant appetizer. Enjoy!
