How To Make Pumpkin Ice Cream
Whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
While you’re still whipping, slowly add the condensed milk, then stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Top Tips For Making
- You can freeze this for up to a month in an airtight container, or if you want to freeze in the loaf pan press some plastic wrap down onto the ice cream to keep it fresh longer.
- This recipes also make a great ice cream base if you’d like to try other flavors. Try it with a dash of peppermint extract and crushed candy canes for Christmas!
