Instructions
1-First, prepare your ice cream maker by making sure the bowl is fully frozen, then attach it to your stand mixer with the dasher in place. This step sets you up for success and keeps things chill from the start.
2-In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup pumpkin purée, ¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 and ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, and ⅛ teaspoon salt until everything blends smoothly and the sugar begins to dissolve.
3-With the mixer running, pour the mixture gradually into the ice cream maker’s canister and churn for 20 to 30 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. This is where the magic happens, turning your mix into something irresistible.
4-Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 2 hours; for the best firmness, aim for 8 hours or overnight. If you’re making a vegan version, just swap in the dairy alternatives and follow the same steps for great results.
