How to make pumpkin ice cream:
- Beat the heavy cream. With a stand up mixer or hand held mixer, beat together the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract until the cream is whipped and can form soft peaks.
- Mix the remaining ingredients. In a separate bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
- Combine everything. Then gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the heavy whipping cream until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Freeze the mixture. Spread the mixture into a loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.
- Serve and enjoy the ice cream! It tastes amazing for an instant hit.
How long will homemade ice cream last:
The ice cream will keep covered in the freezer for up to 1 month. Use a freezer safe container to store the ice cream.
I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper directly on top of the ice cream. While optional, this extra step greatly reduces ice crystals from forming on the ice cream.
Pumpkin Spice Ice cream tips
- Chill the bowl and beaters. I place my mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before whipping the cream to help whip it quicker.
- Cold ingredients. Use cold ingredients to make this ice cream. You do not want the cream to be at room temperature because it will take longer to freeze.
Pumpkin Ice Cream Mix ins:
- Marshmallows. Add a handful of mini marshmallows for a fun twist.
- White chocolate chips. Toss in some white chocolate chips for a decadent mix in.
- Regular Chocolate Chips. Use regular or dark chocolate for a great combination with the pumpkin.
- Nuts. Chopped pecans, walnuts or macadamia nuts would taste fabulous with this ice cream.
- Graham Crackers. Crumble graham crackers into the ice cream to make it really taste like pumpkin pie.
- Gingersnap Cookies. Chop these cookies into small pieces and blend into the ice cream. Any type of spiced cookie will be delicious with the pumpkin flavor.
- Pound Cake or Pumpkin Cake. Toss in cubes of cake for a really decadent ice cream treat.
This base recipe for Pumpkin Ice Cream is easy to change for new flavors or mix ins. Any of these would taste great with the Pumpkin flavor.
You might even want to add a couple of these for a loaded Pumpkin Ice Cream. I bet it would be amazing.
