Adventures in Cooking: Pumpkin Pie soup - ice cream?

While watching the episode of Good Eats about pumpkin pies, at one point Alton is holding a pie pumpkin and off-handedly says you could just fill one with cream, honey, and spices and bake it.

This sounded good to me, so our last pie pumpkin we bought a while ago was opened, seeds removed, and then I added some ingredients:

1/2 pint heavy cream
a handful of crystallized ginger, chopped
ground cinnamon
ground nutmeg
ground cloves
a little brown sugar

I oiled the outside, put it in a baking dish, and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees. After about an hour, the hubby scraped down some of the inside and hit it with the stick blender, but it wasn't pumpkiny enough. So we put it back for another 20 minutes, then took it out, scraped down some more, and used the blender again.

It tastes wonderful. And if we wanted to turn it into ice cream, I think we could easily pour the insides into a bowl, cut out and add a bit more of the sides and puree smooth, then add some whole milk to lower the overall fat content to an ice cream level. Chill and then send for a round in the ice cream machine.

Sound good?
