Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cup cold heavy cream
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1.75 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.25 cup gingersnap cookies, crushed
  • 2 tbsp crystallized ginger, finely chopped optional
  • 1 tbsp bourbon or dark rum optional, helps keep the ice cream scoopable

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Chill a metal loaf pan and a mixing bowl for 10 minutes.
  • Whip the cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Keep it chilled.
  • Whisk condensed milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla, molasses, spices, salt, and bourbon until smooth.
  • Fold one-third of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to lighten it.
  • Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream just until combined.
  • Stir in most of the crushed gingersnaps and crystallized ginger, reserving a handful for topping.
  • Spread into the chilled pan and scatter reserved crumbs on top. Cover tightly.
  • Freeze until firm, at least 6 hours or overnight. Let stand 5 minutes before scooping.

Notes

For extra crunch, swirl in a ribbon of crushed cookies during the last fold. Try a maple drizzle or caramel sauce when serving. Store tightly covered up to 2 weeks; press parchment against the surface to reduce ice crystals.
