HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN SPICE ICE CREAM
- Chill the ice cream bowl for at least 24 hours or until solid. You should not hear any water sloshing around when you shake the bowl. In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and kosher salt.
- Whisk for a few minutes, until the sugar is completely dissolved into the mixture. You should not feel any grit if you rub the mixture together between two fingers.
- Your mixture should be cold at this point. If it isn’t, place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- Churn the ice cream mixture in the bowl of your ice cream machine according to your manufacturer’s instructions, until it is thick and the consistency of soft serve ice cream.
- Spoon the ice cream into a shallow container or loaf pan.
- Press plastic wrap or wax paper to the surface of the ice cream. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS PUMPKIN SPICE ICE CREAM
Use quality ingredients – When making homemade ice cream, you’ll want to make sure you are using high quality ingredients for the best outcome.
Choose the right pumpkin puree – make sure to use unsweetened canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling which already has spices and sugar added to it.
Swap Spices – Use 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice blend rather than the individual spices if desired.
Chill out – If possible, always start with chilled ingredients. This is important for homemade no-churn ice cream recipes and ice cream maker recipes.
Don’t skimp on the fat – High fat milks and creams are essential when making homemade ice cream. Opting for a low-fat option often leads to icy ice creams and inconsistency in the texture.
Don’t go crazy with the add-ins – If you’re adding in additional ingredients, pick one or two and make sure they are chopped into pieces no larger than a blueberry or pea.Don’t skimp on the sugar – Sugar not only adds sweetness to homemade ice creams, it also helps with the texture. Sugar is essential for the creamy texture in ice cream.
NO CHURN PUMPKIN SPICE ICE CREAM
To make this pumpkin spice ice cream without an ice cream maker, chill a shallow container or a loaf pan in the freezer while you mix the ice cream ingredients.
Pour the ice cream mixture into the prepared pan and freeze for 3-4 hours. Stir the ice cream every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours to help add air. This will help create a creamy, smooth texture.
PUMPKIN SPICE ICE CREAM ADD INS
Chocolate, white chocolate, or cinnamon chips will add sweetness and texture to this smooth pumpkin spice ice cream.
Crunchy cookies such as gingersnaps, or shortbread would also be delicious.
For a warm, nutty flavor, try adding chopped walnuts or pecans.
