I'll bet there's a recipe somewhere for pumpkin ice cream! It sounds so unusual to have pumpkins before tomatoes.
I cook pumpkin, mash it up and freeze it for pies or quick bread later on.
I do like cold, cooked pumpkin. It would probably taste great in a pasta salad.
Yes, there is a recipe for pumpkin ice cream somewhere because at certain times of the year it is available in Texas.
