    Because You’re Pumpkin-Obsessed 

    Some of us — wink, wink — wait all year for the annual premiere of Pumpkin Spice lattes, cookies, cocktails, bread, muffins, and more. Those sweet-and-spicy flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg just inspire something warm within us. Even when the pumpkin spice haters come out to play every year, the true fans know: there’s no shame in enjoying your all-time comfort food! 

    At this point, it’s hard to tell if the pumpkin spice passion comes from a love for the flavor itself, or the all-around passion for autumnal bliss and renewal — it’s probably both. So why wait for one moment per year to experience the joy of your favorite comfort food?

    Whether you’re gearing up for Halloween in the fall or missing those soothing flavors in the summer, homemade pumpkin ice cream is the perfect way to get your fix, especially when it’s too warm outside for a hot latte. And Hijinx ice cream mix makes it easy not only to serve up your favorite seasonal ice cream ANY time of year, but also makes it easy to customize your flavor. 

    For an even more complex and spicy version of Pumpkin Spice that’s — dare I say — a little more adult, try our recipe for Pumpkin Bourbon Ice Cream. The ingredients are simple and are probably already lying around your house: Hijinx ice cream mix, half & half, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, pumpkin puree, and of course, your bourbon of choice.

    Simply blend your ingredients together and then freeze for the easiest gourmet ice cream you’ll ever make — and if you need help, you can follow our guidelines for alcohol ratios and when to add mix-ins.
