Pumpkin Cheesecake Swirl Ice Cream
After those delicious little winning pumpkin cupcakes, I decided to turn them into ice cream. {Currently obsessed with ice cream, remember??}
I found an amazing-looking recipe for red velvet ice cream {which I plan on making next} that I adapted for this pumpkin cheesecake swirl ice cream.
The result – a creamy and rich pumpkin cheesecake ice cream with a cake swirl running through it – AB FAB!
You will need:
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup cream
1 1/2 cup full cream milk
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes {with frosting – see my recipe for these cupcakes}
1 tsp yellow food colouring gel
Beat the sugar and eggs together until they are light and frothy, for about 5 minutes. Add the milk and cream and mix.
Add the vanilla, the colouring and 2 of the cupcakes. Mix well and freeze.
I froze it for 4 and a half hours, removing it every hour to whisk. After repeating this 4 times, add the last cupcake, stir and transfer to a suitable container for freezing until you’re ready to enjoy! x

Birthday cupcake – Red Velvet meringue
Today is hubby’s birthday and as you do on a birthday, you you have cake for breakfast!
Our favourite red velvet – from a cake recipe of a fellow baker friend, Rozanne Pieters, and my own twist: a light and fluffy meringue topping.
250g butter (I used salted)
125ml sunflower oil
2.25 cups of sugar
2 free range eggs
1 bottle of red food colour (40ml)
1 cup of buttermilk
10ml baking powder
2ml salt
2.5 cups of flour (all purpose)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Cream butter, oil & sugar together. Add buttermilk, red food colour & eggs. Add all dry ingredients and fold into the wet mixture. Place dollops of the mixture into cupcake casings in a muffin pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven of 180C for 20mins. A toothpick should come out dry when you test it.
For the meringue topping, whisk 1 egg white while slowly adding about half a cup of castor sugar. Add shelf a teaspoon of vanilla essence and a pinch of cream of tartar. Whisk until glossy and soft peaks form. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.
Enjoy! X
