PUMPKIN GINGERSNAP ICE CREAM

This recipe was originally posted as Ice Cream Sandwiches, but I thought it would be perfect with crisp gingersnaps broken in chunks and stirred in! Delicious! The original recipe stated it yielded 15 sandwiches. My yield is just a guess, really, as is how long it takes the ice cream machine to do its thang.

Time 1h15m

Yield 7 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

7 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cinnamon stick
6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canned canned solid-pack pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2-1 cup broken gingersnap cookie

Steps:

  • Cook condensed milk in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until reduced by almost half, about 2 hours.
  • Remove from heat, and beat with a wooden spoon until cool. If you use an entire 14 oz can, the remainder of the milk caramel can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.
  • Bring milk, cream, milk caramel, and cinnamon stick to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Remove from heat. Cover, and let stand 30 minutes. Return to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; discard cinnamon stick. Set aside.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Put yolks and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and thick, about 4 minutes.
  • With machine running, add hot milk mixture in a slow, steady stream. Add pumpkin and vanilla, and beat until combined. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl set in the ice-water bath until cool. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Stir in the gingersnaps, and freeze until firm.

Categories     Pie

Time 23m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups crushed gingersnaps
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon mace

Steps:

  • For Crust:.
  • Mix together the crust ingredients and press into a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Bake crust at 375°F for 8 minutes.
  • Cool completely.
  • For filling:.
  • Soften ice cream in a large bowl.
  • Mix the remaining filling ingredients in with the ice cream.
  • For pie:.
  • Pour the pie filling ingredients into the cooled crust.
  • Place in freezer until set before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your ice cream a more intense flavor and a creamier texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't over-churn the ice cream: Over-churning the ice cream will make it icy and grainy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the ice cream ripen before serving: After churning the ice cream, let it ripen in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to develop and the ice cream to firm up.
  • Serve the ice cream with your favorite toppings: Serve the pumpkin gingersnap ice cream with whipped cream, gingersnap cookies, or pumpkin pie spice. You can also drizzle it with caramel sauce or chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin gingersnap ice cream is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying dessert, give this pumpkin gingersnap ice cream a try. You won't be disappointed!
