Welcome to day 7 of Tag Sale Tastes’ Pumpkinpalooza 2020!

Although temperatures have cooled a bit here in Houston, it’s still fairly warm, and a dish of ice cream sounds pretty good.  So today I bring you H-E-B Creamy Creations Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream:

It’s churned in the heart of Texas:

The container sports a few leaves and a fat little pumpkin — a plumpkin, if you will:

There’s also a picture of a slice of pumpkin pie to drive the flavor home (unlike the sad forkful of pumpkin pie on the Lenny & Larry’s Pumpkin Spice Complete Cookie):

The ingredients include graham cracker swirl (what’s a good pie without a graham cracker crust, right?), whipped cream swirl (’cause pumpkin pie needs a dollop of whipped cream, right?), and pumpkin puree:

And here it is:

Whoa — that’s some orange ice cream!  No mistaking this is pumpkin flavored.  Let’s dish it up and give it a taste:

Well, by “graham cracker swirl” and “whipped cream swirl” I think what they meant was “swirled in.”  There was no swirl that I could see.  But it didn’t matter, because the ice cream was great — sweet, creamy, pumpkin-y, pleasantly gritty from the graham crackers swirled in, with a nice amount of pumpkin spice and no pumpkin spice aftertaste.  I thought it would have been even better with a drizzle of caramel, or perhaps some Heath bits, but my husband thought it was really great all by itself.  Life is gourd.  🙂
