Base Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 1 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Spices & Mix-ins
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup graham crackers or gingersnap cookies crushed
- 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts chopped, optional
Chill a metal loaf pan or freezer-safe container in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before beginning.
In a large bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the pumpkin mixture into the whipped cream. Work with a light hand using a figure-eight motion, incorporating one-third of the mixture at a time.
Fold in ¾ of the crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps (and nuts if using), reserving the remainder for topping.
Pour the mixture into your chilled loaf pan or container. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle with the remaining graham cracker crumbs.
Cover tightly with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the ice cream to prevent ice crystals. Freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight.
For best results, make sure all ingredients are well-chilled before beginning.
Let soften for 5-10 minutes before serving for optimal scoopability.
Store in an airtight container in the back of the freezer for up to two weeks.
For a dairy-free version, swap heavy cream with full-fat coconut cream and use dairy-free condensed milk.
