This creamy pumpkin ice cream is a delightful autumn treat that combines the rich flavors of pumpkin and warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves with smooth, velvety heavy cream. Perfect for pumpkin lovers looking to enjoy a homemade frozen dessert that balances sweetness and spice, this recipe is easy to prepare using an ice cream maker.

Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1-1/2 cups canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the heavy whipping cream, canned pumpkin, brown sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cloves. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  2. Fill up the ice cream maker: Pour the prepared mixture into the cylinder of your ice cream maker, filling it only about two-thirds full to allow space for aeration during churning. Follow your ice cream maker's manufacturer instructions for freezing duration, usually around 20-30 minutes, until the ice cream reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  3. Freeze before serving: Transfer the churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container, cover it, and freeze for an additional four to five hours or until firm. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the ice cream maker; leaving space is vital for proper aeration and freezing.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until smooth and frozen.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream, but this may slightly alter the texture and taste.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree labeled 100% pumpkin without added sugars or spices for best control over flavor.
  • Store leftover ice cream in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
