We got a new ice cream maker. I’m in love. I’m dreaming up of all sorts of different weird flavours I want to try, but with fall here I decided to be a little festive for my first go at our new toy and made a pumpkin pie ice cream. It was really easy to make, I know everyone’s ice cream maker is probably different so I’m just going to go a head and tell you what I did. You may need to adjust a few things depending on your machine.

♥ 3 C Milk
♥ 1 C heavy cream
♥ 1 tsp vanilla extract
♥ 1 C brown sugar
♥ 1 3/4 C pumpkin puree
♥ 1 tsp pumpkin spice

plus an additional
♥ 1 tsp ginger
♥ 1/4 tsp nutmeg
♥ 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

♥ 1 cinnamon stick
♥ whipped cream
♥ pumpkin spice

Mix all the ingredients into a large bowl, then poor slowly into the ice cream maker. Mine took about 25 minutes to make. Mine made it more like a soft serve ice cream, so I froze it for about an hour before serving. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, some whipped cream and pumpkin spice sprinkled on top.

If you want to you can add in cookie bits or graham crackers at the last 5 minutes to add a ‘pie crust’ flavour. For the gluten free, I found a g.f. honey & graham wafer in my local grocery store. You can also use ginger snaps. For a lactose free version, just use 4 C lactose free milk and take out the cream.
