Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops
Today I’m guest posting over on one of my favorite blogs, Delicious Dishings, while Megan and Jeff are in Italy on their honeymoon. Megan asked for an Italian themed dish and I made this amazing Pumpkin Risotto with Seared Scallops. Be sure to click through to see more about it including the recipe.

That looks so yummy! Can you suggest a good substitute for the cream cheese? I can’t eat dairy….. Also, can I use honey/agave in place of the sugar & corn syrup? Thanks!

Have you tried the Tofutti “Better than Cream Cheese”? I am lactose intolerant and use that in place of cream cheese. I think the cream cheese is there to enhance the smooth texture of the ice cream. You could just leave it out if you wanted. The corn syrup is there to help it not freeze too hard. Again, you could omit it if you wanted or replace with honey. Let me know how it turns out for you with the substitutions.
I really need an ice cream maker….

I can’t believe I lived so long without one…
i’ve done a pistachio ice cream awhile back and it was most definitely amazing. never was into the bright green stuff as a kid, either 🙂
