Get ready for fall with a Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Cake!
I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! For me, that means summer is unofficially over and my kitchen and home turn into fall.
I LOVE fall, it’s the time of year that I look forward to each year. I already had my home switched to fall decor in August. Yes, I’m one of THOSE people.
Then, as I was shopping at Walmart, I saw it…Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer! It’s here! Pumpkin season is here. The creamer can be found in the large bins at Walmart or back in the creamers in the dairy section.
Remember though, you can use any Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer.
I made this Pumpkin Pie Cake a few years back. The recipe was passed down to me from my great great aunt’s recipe collection.
This year, I kept thinking I needed to remake it with ice cream. I could not wait to get started on this so naturally it was time.
What could possibly be better than my two favorite things, cake and ice cream, all combined into one? Nothing. Absolutely nothing!
How do you make Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream Cake?
Not only did I serve my cake paired with coffee and Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer, but I also replaced the evaporated milk in the recipe for the creamer. It gave this cake a whole new level of delicious creamy flavor.
I’m by no means a cake decorator, but a cake can be made instantly beautiful with some simple swirls and a good decorating tip. That’s exactly what I did with this cake, then I sprinkled the top with a dash of cinnamon.
It turned out perfectly and tasted just as good! When it comes to the ice cream, be sure to use a good real vanilla ice cream. If you use a soft serve type of ice cream, just be sure it’s frozen very well before servings because those tend to melt faster.
Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy a slice of cake!
