How to Make Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream?
Prepare your Nostalgia Ice Cream Maker according to the instruction manual. If you need to freeze the bowl of your ice cream maker, try to do so 24 hours in advance. Otherwise, your ice cream settings will be affected.
Grab a large bowl and whisk the whole milk, sugar, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, salt, and cinnamon together for the base recipe. Stir it well, until the sugar has fully melted. Don’t over-mix.
Pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and let it churn for as long as mentioned in the package’s instructions.
Add the crumbled graham crackers to the ice cream maker 3 minutes before the churn ends.
When you’re done, transfer the ice cream to a lidded container and freeze.
Garnish it with some toppings like caramel sauce and, whipped cream and serve!
How to Make Salted Caramel Sauce?
Add the white sugar and water to a heavy-bottomed pot and let it sit over low heat until the sugar melts.
Warm up the pot to medium heat and let the sugar mixture cook until it reaches a golden brown color. Make sure the sugar doesn’t burn.
Add the heavy cream to the golden brown caramel and stir well. The mixture will start to bubble up. If sugar clumps up, continue to mix it on a low heat until it dissolves.
Add in the sea salt and butter and mix until well combined. Serve on the top of the ice cream and enjoy its rich and unique flavor.
Additional Recipe Notes
You can keep the homemade ice cream in the freezer for up to two weeks.
Besides the graham crackers, things like pecans, walnuts, butterscotch chips, and biscoff cookies make a great addition to toppings like pumpkin pie spice, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
You can serve it immediately after preparing it. But if you want to enhance the flavor then place it in the freezer for a few hours before serving.
