Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You didn’t think I’d let October pass without sharing multiple new pumpkin recipe, did you? Especially with all the ice cream recipes I’ve been making lately, it should come as no surprise that I wanted to share a Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream recipe!

Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream

Pumpkin ice cream is my absolute favorite ice cream. More specifically, Woodside Farm Creamery‘s pumpkin ice cream — their version is so wonderfully rich and creamy!

Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream

So I knew it was about time I tried to make my own at home. This recipe uses egg yolks to achieve that uber creamy texture!

Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream

Ingredients (makes approximately 1 quart):

  • 4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 8 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree

Recommended tools (paid links):

  • electric ice cream maker
  • fine mesh strainer
  • saucepan
  • freezer-safe container

To make your pumpkin ice cream, add the heavy cream and brown sugar to a large saucepan, whisking to combine.

Heat over medium low heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges and the mixture is just steaming.

While waiting for the milk mixture to heat, add the egg yolks, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and vanilla extract to a bowl, whisking to combine.

Once the milk mixture is warm, spoon out 1/2 cup of the warm milk mixture and gradually add it to your egg-sugar mixture, whisking to combine.

Pour the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture over medium-low heat, whisking to combine.

Let cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, taking care to not let it boil. You want it to thicken so that it coats the back of a wooden spoon.

Place a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl, and pour the mixture through the strainer, discarding any solids.

Whisk the pumpkin puree into your strained mixture.

Let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate overnight. If your ice cream maker requires you to do so, add in your ice cream maker bowl to your freezer.

The next day, remove the mixture from your refrigerator.

Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn into ice cream; mine took about 15 minutes total.

Scoop out the mixture into a freezer safe quart-sized container.

Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.

This pumpkin ice cream is so wonderfully rich!

It’s like eating pumpkin pie in ice cream form.
