Pretty Delicious Life Dairy Free Low FODMAP Pumpkin Chai Ice Cream
“Ooops, I did it again. I made great ice cream, got lost in the flavor, oh baby baby!”
Alright sorry, Brittney. I wanted that to work, but it doesn’t quite land right. What DOES land, though, is this incredibly seasonally appropriate Dairy Free Low FODMAP Friendly Pumpkin Chai Ice Cream. I promised you four new ice cream flavors and I’m delivering on that promise just in time for the first day of fall.
This year is a weird year, we all already know that. Me being excited for fall is just another one of the weird anomalies of 2020. I’ve said it before, I’m a summer girl through and through, but this year I’m incredibly excited for autumn. Fall in New England is truly a special experience that I take for granted most years having lived here almost my whole life. This year I’m asking myself to bring new perspective to the season, slow down, and enjoy a fresh start. Sure, it’s getting cold – this year seems to be much colder than last year around this time – but the air is so fresh and crisp, and being outside is honestly just lovely. Instead of being upset that evening fires outdoors are becoming few and far between, I’m excited to bring the cozy indoors, snuggle up by the fire with my pup, and enjoy a cup of chai, or in this case chai ice cream!
Pumpkin Spice is great and all, but Pumpkin CHAI is where it’s AT! Be for-warned, there are about to be many more chai-spiced fall recipes coming your way this season because I just cannot get enough of it. I’m seeing oatmeal cookies, pumpkin loafs, and maybe even a coffee creamer in your future! Stay tuned.
In the meantime, grab your ice cream maker and these ingredients and get to churnin’! Don’t forget to leave a review in the comments and tag your photos #PDLrecipes when you make this at home!
