Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream

I asked on instagram and you all said you wanted to see the recipe so i decided i would share it. The only reason i was thinking of not giving it to you all is because it requires an ice cream maker and i'm not 100% sure all of you own one so yea that sucks :/ Also I'm sorry for all the pumpkin recipes but im just obsessed ok sorrynotsorry
But anyways: here it is!!

Vegan Buckwheat Pumpkin Bread

Hi all! Hope you're doing well and enjoying January--I know I am. I've had a lot of ups and downs this month but overall, it's been pretty great. I've been learning how to enjoy my life and myself so it's going fabulously. Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, I made a "my story" video so click right there and you can watch it. I have a four day weekend this week due to Martin Luther King Junior day so I'm spending my time relaxing and enjoying my off days. Dance concert just ended so I'm feeling sad cause I won't be able to do that anymore but I'm trying to look for classes outside school now so I can start doing it year round. ANYWAY
I decided to test out a recipe for buckwheat pumpkin bread. Buckwheat is a hit or miss with most people--I've found that I really like it but I know there are also a lot of people who despise it so whatever floats your boat? I adapted a recipe I found for spelt pumpkin bread so here it is:

Vegan Crystalized Buddha Hand Dark Chocolate Bread

Now most of you are probably saying to yourself: what the fuck is "buddha hand"? Now I'm going to show you a picture of it, it's incredibly sketchy and weird looking BUT it's addictive and delicious. My mom discovered this strange thing that I believe belongs to the citrus family (?) last year. She looked up recipes and made a simple syrup, and crystalized it. It tastes almost like a cross between orange peel, and ginger. I really can't tell you how to crystalize it but I bet you can google it (if you happen to find it in a store or online). Otherwise, you can absolutely sub in orange peel, crystalized ginger or really anything that you think resembles it--maybe even dry fruit!





Now here's what buddha hand looks like raw:
