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.

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.

Tips:
- Start with a good base ice cream recipe. This will ensure that your ice cream has a smooth and creamy texture. There are many recipes available online or in cookbooks.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your ice cream the best flavor. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use canned pumpkin puree.
- Add spices to taste. Pumpkin pie spice is a classic choice, but you can also experiment with other spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Use high-quality gingersnaps. This will ensure that your ice cream has a rich and flavorful ginger flavor.
- Don't over-churn the ice cream. Otherwise, it will become icy and hard.
- Let the ice cream ripen in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin gingersnap ice cream is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its smooth and creamy texture, warm pumpkin flavor, and spicy gingersnap pieces, this ice cream is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
