No-Churn Ice Cream

If this is your first time doing your own ice cream, don’t panic! this recipe is easy and pain free, and the best way to make ice cream without an ice cream machine (in my opinion!).

There are different ways to make your own ice cream. There’s the ice cream machine method, which is fine if you have an ice cream maker, but if you don’t, there are a few other methods that are also a great way to accomplish great results.

One of them is the whipped cream and condensed milk method, which if you’ve seen my other ice cream recipes, you’ll notice it has become one of my preferred methods. The combination of these 2 ingredients makes Ice cream with a creamy consistency even after frozen. This makes it convenient, easy and quick to prepare!

Pumpkin Ice Cream Ingredients you’ll need

There are some simple ingredients that you can probably find in your local grocery store:

  • Heavy Cream. This is the ice cream base, and it will help give it a softer texture when whipped.
  • Sweetened condensed milk. Sweetens the ice cream and gives a softer consistency too
  • Vanilla extract. Look for good quality, pure vanilla extract for better results
  • Cinnamon. One of the spices that will help with flavor
  • All-spice. Also a spice that will help achieve that fall-like flavor
  • Nutmeg. Try to use freshly ground nutmeg for better results.
  • Salt. Enhances the flavors
  • Pumpkin Purée. Gives the pumpkin flavor and also helps with texture. Make sure that you use 100% unsweetened pumpkin purée

How to make this No Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream

  2. Fold in the pumpkin purée to the ice cream mixture and mix until well combined

Tips and Tricks for making the best homemade pumpkin ice cream recipe

  • When the fat in the heavy cream is cold while beating, it helps making it light and airy, and it holds better its shape. For this reason and for best results, you can freeze the whisk and metal bowl for 15 minutes. Take the freezer bowl out with the whisk attachment and make the whipped cream
  • Make sure the ice cream is well covered before going into the freezer to avoid any ice crystals. If you feel your airtight container doesn’t close too well, add a layer of plastic wrap between the container and the lid, then secure the lid on top
  • This ice cream has no toppings or add-ons, but you can definitely add your own! swirl the ice cream with caramel, mix-in some walnuts or pecans, or top it with biscoff cookies, gingersnap cookies or even crushed pie crust to add a little crunch; any of these is a perfect pairing, it’s just a matter of personal preference to decide which one to use.
