Banana-less nice cream. No churning required. No added sugar. Pumpkiny with a caramel flavor. Quick. SO creamy. Annnddd, it doesn't melt! It's magical.

I thought I was a kitchen genius and that I came up with this recipe, but I quick search on YouTube, and yup. Someone else thought of it too lol. 

Anyways, I find this method yields the best results while still keeping it healthy.
