Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 228kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 large egg yolks
- ½ cup pure pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Warm. In a saucepan, whisk milk, cream and sugar. Warm gently until steaming, about 4-5 minutes.
- Whisk. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and maple syrup until thick and pale.
- Temper + cook. Slowly pour warm milk mixture into the yolks in 4-5 parts, whisking constantly. This helps temper the eggs slowly. Return the mixture to the pot and cook on low for about 5 minutes or until it coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir. Remove from heat and stir in pumpkin puree, spices and salt.
- Chill. Place the pot in an ice bath and gently mix the ice cream base inside the pot until cool or about 4-5 minutes. Make sure no water enters the pot!
- Churn. If using an ice cream maker, churn slowly for 20-25 min for that signature gelato texture. If not using an ice cream maker, freeze in a shallow dish, stirring gently every 30 minutes until and set, about 3-4 hours total. You'll get a bit of an icier texture with the stirring method.For softer consistency, serve immediately or, for firmer consistency, freeze and enjoy later.
Notes
