If you are the kind of person who can enjoy frozen treats any time of the year, these homemade pumpkin ice cream drumsticks with candied pecans is an excellent autumnal choice.
Created by Laura at the blog Blogging Over Thyme, the dessert recipe consists of roasted pumpkin ice cream in an ice cream cone dipped in dark chocolate and topped with candied pecan pieces. Like a seasonal version of the classic Nestle drumsticks you probably ate all summer long, this homemade pumpkin ice cream variation is infused with fall-flavored five spice blend consisting of ginger, clove, cinnamon, cardamom and allspice. If you have leftover nuts, you can easily add them to other dishes. You could also use salted pumpkin seeds or toasted pecans as topping instead.
