Provided by Matt O'Connor

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon superfine or granulated sugar
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for dusting
drop of vanilla extract
dash of dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Pour the milk and cream into a large saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to steam but not boil.
  • 2. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl until smooth. Add 1/3 cup of the sugar and whisk until pale and slightly fluffy. Gradually and slowly, pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over low heat, stirring frequently, until the custard thinly coats the back of a wooden spoon. Do not let boil.
  • 3. Pour back into the bowl and set aside for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooled to room temperature. For more rapid chilling, fill a sink halfway with cold water and ice and place the bowl of mixture in it for 20 minutes. Never put the hot mixture into the refrigerator.
  • 4. Put the pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla extract, remaining sugar, and a dash of rum, if using, into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add to the chilled custard and whisk well. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • 5. When the churning is completed, use a spoon or spatula to scrape the ice cream into a freezer-proof container with a lid. Freeze until it reaches the correct scooping texture (at least 2 hours). Dust each portion with a little ground cinnamon before serving.

This ice cream is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the graham cracker crumbs. The ice cream was still delicious!

This ice cream is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. It's also a delicious and festive dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

This recipe was a disaster. The ice cream was grainy and icy, and it didn't taste anything like pumpkin.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my ice cream turned out icy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This ice cream was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The pumpkin flavor was definitely there, but it was a bit overpowered by the sweetness.
