Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream For a non-dairy version, consider using coconut cream.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar White sugar can be used, but lacks the depth of flavor.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adjust to taste for preferred spice level.
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice Can substitute with individual spices if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Omit for a more pure pumpkin taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Optional; use to taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ice Cream Maker. Ensure the ice cream maker’s bowl is fully frozen according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually at least 24 hours in the freezer.
  2. Squeeze Excess Moisture from the Pumpkin. Using a lint-free kitchen towel, remove any excess moisture from the pumpkin puree.
  3. Mix the Ice Cream Base. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Churn the Ice Cream. Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn for 20 to 30 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  5. Freeze the Ice Cream. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
  6. Serve and Enjoy. Scoop into bowls or cones and add toppings like whipped cream or caramel.
