Serve this ice cream at soft serve consistency right out of the ice cream maker, or a firmer consistency by putting it in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for a few hours or overnight. Either way, it’s delicious and elevated by the little crunch of the candied pecans, and cinnamon pastry twists.

Pumpkin Puree
Be sure to use pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. Canned pumpkin puree is fine, but don’t mix it up with the canned pumpkin pie filling that includes pumpkin pie spice in it already, You can also make homemade pumpkin puree for this recipe in pumpkin season, using real pumpkin. Look for the small pie pumpkins or sugar pumpkins for the best pumpkin flavor.
Ice Cream Maker
You will need an ice cream maker for this ice cream. It is a traditional homemade ice cream that does require a churn for the best results. If you’re a fan of ice cream though, this is some special equipment that’s worth investing in. Look for one second hand if it’s something you’d like to try. This churn recipe is worth the trouble, because it’s churning that gives that delicious creamy pumpkin ice cream texture.
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Ingredients
Pumpkin Ice Cream
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cups pumpkin purée
- 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
Candied Pecans
- 100 g chopped pecans
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 white sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon Pastry Twists
- your favourite pastry recipe or frozen pastry
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
For The Ice Cream
- In a large bowl or in a stand mixer on low speed combine the milk, and brown sugar, until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin purée, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Add heavy cream and vanilla, and mix until combined -making sure not to over mix the heavy cream so it doesn't begin to whip.
- Turn the ice cream machine on; pour the pumpkin mixture into the freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add the candied pecans during the last 5 minutes of mixing, reserving some to sprinkle over the ice cream when serving. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in the freezer for about 2 hours.
Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly, for easier scoping.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Whip egg white slightly until frothy. Stir in pecans to coat. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Spread out pecans in a single layer on a cookie sheet, and place in oven, stirring every 15 min. for 1 hour, until pecans are dried and toasted. Let cool before adding to ice cream mixture. Reserve some to sprinkle over each at serving time, if you wish.
- Make your favourite pastry -enough for one double crust pie, or use frozen pastry. Roll out and spread with a thin layer of softened butter. Sprinkle the dough with white sugar and cinnamon. Cut into long strips, about 1/2 inch wide. Twist several times, and cook on a cookie sheet for around 15 min. at 400, or according to the pastry recipe.
To serve, scoop into an individual ice cream bowl, and sprinkle each serving of ice cream with candied pecans, and add a cinnamon pastry twist..

Another fun idea for this pumpkin spice ice cream recipe would be to turn it into a pumpkin ice cream pie.
