To make your own pumpkin puree, use 1 large or 2 medium Sugar Pie or other eating (not field) pumpkins. Cut out the stem and quarter the pumpkin lengthwise. In a preheated 400°F oven, bake the quarters, cut side down, in a shallow roasting pan with a little water in the bottom until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool, scrape out the seeds, cut the flesh from the peels, and force it through a medium-mesh sieve or the medium disk of a food mill. Freeze any leftover puree for up to 2 months.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin puree or canned
      unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 5 egg yolks
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 Tbs. bourbon

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to 8 hours.

In a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 1/2 cups of the cream and 1/2 cup of the brown sugar. Cook until bubbles form around the edges of the pan, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the egg yolks, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and the sugar begins to dissolve.

Remove the cream mixture from the heat. Gradually whisk about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture until smooth. Pour the egg mixture back into the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and keeping the custard at a low simmer, until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon and leaves a clear trail when a finger is drawn through it, 4 to 6 minutes. Do not allow the custard to boil. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.

Place the bowl in a larger bowl partially filled with ice water, stirring occasionally until cool. Whisk the pumpkin mixture into the custard. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly on the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours or up to 24 hours.

Transfer the custard to an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Add the bourbon during the last minute of churning. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours or up to 3 days, before serving. Makes about 1 quart.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Like Pumpkin pie in ice cream form I followed this recipe except for the spices (1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp nutmeg) to more closely match pumpkin pie spice. I did put it though a sieve which I think helps keep it super smooth and caught the larger chunks of spice. It does freeze hard, but when slightly softened it is a very creamy, smooth texture. Perfect for use in my pumpkin pie ice cream cake that I'm making for Thanksgiving this year.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Almost perfect I used fresh sugar pie pumpkin puree. I skipped the straining per a reviewer but did find the texture fibrous though I had made my puree in the blender. I didn't like the mouth feel of all heavy cream so next time I would replace some with whole milk. Subbed 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Soooooo Decadent! My wife and I are on a Keto lifestyle (low carb/high fat) so I used a combination of brown sugar substitute and splenda in place of the sugar. This ice cream is by far the best ice cream that I have ever had in my 63 years! It's creamy and oh so rich! I highly recommend this recipe. Just carefully make the Creme Anglaise to not curdle the eggs. If in doubt watch a YouTube video on the technique. This recipe will NOT disappoint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unique texture, wonderful authentic flavor This is a make again recipe especially good this time of year. I made my own pumpkin puree from my garden Musquee de Provence pumpkin and it was essential to you the sieve but not a fine one. The spices are are just perfect. I also used half cream and half goat milk instead of 100% cream and it froze nicely. Because it's so thick before churning it didn't take as much time in the ice cream freezer--30 minutes. I have made lighter pumpkin ice cream but this one has the taste of a pumpkin pie just without the crust. I will serve with crystallized ginger bits and candied pecans. Bon Appetit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from In my Top 5 This recipe is KILLER. It has impressed everyone who’s eaten it, including my husband who doesn’t like sweets. It’s such a perfect blend of autumn flavors. I don’t strain mine and it comes out perfectly so I recommend skipping that step. Turning your egg + cream mix into custard definitely takes more like 15mins (unless I had my heat too low) but this recipe really doesn’t need modifications; the flavor is spot-on. I will be making this for years to come!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Insanely good!! Whoa. This is one of the most delicious things I have ever made. It tastes just like pumpkin pie with a whiff of bourbon. I roasted a pumpkin squash for it and followed the recipe exactly. I was reluctant to share it and ended up eating a fair amount straight from the ice cream maker. It doesn't make a very big batch, but it is incredibly rich... so much so that 5 people couldn't finish it. The only thing I found a little interesting is that it freezes very firm. I nearly strained a wrist trying to scoop it out.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not delicious I have been making ice cream for years and this recipe is a dud. I was so excited to make pumpkin ice cream, and as I don’t have my go-to ice cream cookbooks on hand (not at home), I relied on this due to the reviews. I think this ice cream is barely edible. The flavors are unbalanced and it isn’t sweet enough (surprisingly). Have had much better pumpkin ice cream. Won’t be making this one again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tastes Great Our local gourmet ice cream stand just bumped their prices to $5 for a small cone, so we'll be making our own. My wife's' favorite flavor is their MonstervMash, pumpkin ice cream with Oreo cookie pieces and chocolate chips. This pumpkin ice cream recipe is very easy and tastes great. Some pumpkin ice creams have a very mild flavor, this is more like pumpkin pie, unmistakably pumpkin. This just got added to the Thanksgiving menu. If you want to make Monster Mash, add 4 broken cookies and a heaping 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips with around 2 minutes left on the churn cycle. Can't wait to try some of the other ice cream recipes to supplement the recipes that came with the Cuisinart Ice 70 which is an awesome machine if you're in the market.
