This time of year it’s all about the pumpkin, but sometimes there’s just a little TOO much leftover pumpkin pie after a big family dinner. I’m all about re-inventing ingredients and leftovers, but this half a pumpkin pie that was sitting in my fridge for days had me stumped… until my hubby suggested we transform it into a delicious pumpkin ice cream! Ingredients Pumpkin Pie Vanilla Ice Cream (homemade or a good store bought) 3 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup Ice Cream Maker (but if you don’t have it, you can always mix by hand and refreeze) We just let a vanilla ice cream we’d already made thaw a bit, added…

And when I spotted these cute pie molds from Williams-Sonoma on sale, I couldn’t resist buying and testing them right when i got home.

Pumpkin Tiramisu {No Bake}
This year we’re going to a friend’s house for Thanksgiving and I volunteered to bring the dessert. I love pumpkin pie, and pecan pie, and honestly, just pie in general. This year though, I wanted to do something a little bit different. After some searching I found a great recipe from FoodieCrush for Pumpkin Tiramisu, but of course I had to do a test run in my kitchen first.

Okay the best part is probably how good it tastes, or maybe how good it looks.…
