Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped graham crackers

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer or Whisk
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Spatula
  • Freezer Safe Container

Method
 

  1. Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, milk, pumpkin puree, and brown sugar. Use an electric mixer or whisk to blend everything together until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Add the spices: Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until the spices are evenly distributed. This will give your ice cream that irresistible pumpkin pie flavor.
  3. Chill the mixture: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Chilling the mixture before churning helps the flavors meld and ensures a smoother texture once frozen.
  4. Churn the ice cream: Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 20 minutes.
  5. Add graham crackers (optional): If you’re using graham crackers for a pie crust flavor, add them during the last few minutes of churning. This will incorporate them without breaking them down too much.
  6. Freeze: Once the ice cream is churned to a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Smooth the top and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight to firm up.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones and serve. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a chilly fall evening!

Notes

Pumpkin pie ice cream is incredibly versatile. You can make it as creamy or as firm as you prefer by adjusting the freezing time. If you like a firmer texture, let it freeze overnight. For a softer, more scooped consistency, freeze it for a shorter amount of time. Also, feel free to customize the spices according to your taste. Add more cinnamon for an extra kick, or try a dash of clove for a unique flavor.
