Ingredients
  

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional: crushed graham crackers or pumpkin spice cookies for texture

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, whole milk, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk them together until smooth and fully blended.

    Add Pumpkin and Spices: Gently fold in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the spices according to your preference if needed.

      Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate the ice cream mixture for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled. This step enhances the flavors.

        Churn the Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

          Add Texture (Optional): If desired, fold in crushed graham crackers or pumpkin spice cookies during the last few minutes of churning for an exciting crunch.

            Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the churned ice cream into an airtight container. Smooth the top, seal it, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

              Serve: Once frozen, remove from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly before scooping. Serve in bowls or cones and enjoy a scoop of your homemade Pumpkin Spice Dream Ice Cream!
