How to make pumpkin pie ice cream
Since we make this ice cream without eggs, it’s very simple to make.
Gently warm the milk then stir brown sugar into it. Stir the rest of the ingredients into the milk then put the pot into your fridge to let it cool. Bake a store-bought pie crust then let it cool completely before breaking it into bite-sized pieces. (Or use biscuit-type cookies to skip this step!) Now simply pour the ice cream into your ice cream maker then add the pie crust pieces once it’s churned.
That’s it! You’ve just made pumpkin pie ice cream!
Whole milk – Don’t be tempted to use skim milk as it will cause the ice cream to turn icy. Brown sugar – This adds a wonderful malty flavor to the ice cream. Coconut sugar can be used for a refined sugar-free version. Sugar helps prevent ice cream from freezing solid, if you’re tempted to reduce the amount, know that your ice cream may need to thaw a little before you can eat it. Pumpkin puree – We use canned 100% pumpkin puree in this recipe. Don’t use pumpkin pie filling, which has many spices in it. Maple syrup – the warm maple flavor is wonderful in this ice cream. If you don’t have any pure maple syrup, you can use more brown sugar instead. Vanilla – Another delicious warm, autumn flavor. Pumpkin pie spice – This is what makes it really taste like pumpkin pie. Try using our homemade pumpkin pie spice! Whipping cream – This gives body and creaminess to the ice cream.
Bake store-bought tart shells and scoop the pumpkin ice cream into them once they’re cool. In pretty bowls with cookie crumbles or crumbled pie crust on top. Drizzled with a little caramel sauce. In a waffle cone dusted with cinnamon sugar.
