Notes
This ice cream typically lasts for about 2 months before drying out. It is important to keep the ice cream covered with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It is important to note that 5 hours is the minimum freeze time for this ice cream.
It will be ready to serve after 5 hours, but will continue to get a little harder the longer it sets in the freezer. If you let your ice cream freeze overnight, it might need to sit on the counter for a few minutes before you scoop it.
It is important to mix in the condensed milk, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin puree until just combined because you do not want to knock too much air out of your whipped cream. A stiff whipped cream is key to getting a classic ice cream texture.
You can make your own pumpkin pie spice by combining equal parts cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. For a richer chocolate flavor, you can add dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
The sweetened condensed milk helps give the ice cream a creamy, velvety texture and also provides the majority of the sweetness.
