I love this time of year when the leaves start to change color and the weather outside is not so-frightful. (Although, it's getting there!) Fall is my favorite time of the year. First, there's Halloween (which I'm absolutely obsessed with), Thanksgiving, then Christmas! I love the fall flavors and pumpkin simply epitomizes fall. It’s like getting a warm bear hug. I’ve been experimenting with pumpkin lately and instead of baking a pie, I wanted to make something different. So, I made pumpkin frozen yogurt. It has pureed pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and it’s surprisingly creamy. It’s the perfect dessert for fall!
{Pumpkin Frozen Yogurt} You'll need: 1 1/2 cups Greek lowfat yogurt| 1 1/2 cups whole milk| 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar| 2 cups pureed pumpkin| 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon| 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
