Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 cup homemade pumpkin puree

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and seeds scraped out

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 1 ¼ cups dark brown sugar, divided

  • 5 egg yolks

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Combine pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and scraped vanilla bean seeds in a bowl.

  2. Combine 3/4 of the cream and 1/2 of the brown sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat.

  3. Combine remaining cream, remaining sugar, egg yolks, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg in a second bowl and stir until sugar has dissolved. Pour in hot cream mixture, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring constantly until combined.

  4. Pour mixture into the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Simmer until mixture thickens and no longer drips off the spatula.

  5. Remove from heat and pass through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Set bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir constantly until cooled.

  6. Stir in pumpkin puree mixture. Cover surface with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up to 1 day.

  7. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 3 hours.
