Method

  • Step 1

    Pre-heat the oven to 180°C then start preparing the ingredients for the roasted pumpkin. Mix together the pumpkin, melted coconut oil, spices, and sea salt in a large bowl until evenly coated. Place into the oven and roast for 40 mins, stirring halfway. Once cooked remove and place to one side to cool

  • Step 2

    Drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly. Add to the Ninja pitcher along with the remaining ingredients. Run the MAX BLEND programme twice, scraping down the sides with a silicone spatula between blends

  • Step 3

    Place into a medium sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan and place onto a low to medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, whisking periodically until thickened. This will take 20 to 30 minutes. Leave to cool for 5 minutes

  • Step 4

    Add the cooled roasted pumpkin, along with the ice cream base, to the Ninja Pitcher then run the MAX BLEND programme and blend until smooth. Transfer to a suitable sized bowl then cover with cling film and leave to cool completely

  • Step 5

    Add to your ice cream maker and churn as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Serve with toasted chopped pecans and enjoy!
