Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Ensure it’s pure pumpkin without additives
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream Can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Almond milk can be used for a lighter option
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can add a hint of molasses flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt A small pinch is sufficient
For the Spices
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Can experiment with cardamom for a unique twist
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Fresh or ground ginger both work well
  • 1/4 teaspoon Allspice Can substitute with nutmeg if unavailable
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Opt for freshly grated for the best flavor

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Ice cream maker
  • Loaf pan or airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir gently until the mixture is warm but not boiling, about 5 minutes.
  2. Carefully transfer the warm pumpkin mixture into a large mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
  3. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for about 20-25 minutes until it thickens into a fluffy, creamy texture.
  4. Transfer the creamy pumpkin mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight container. Smooth the top and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
