Machine Free Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream


We love ice cream but rarely make it.  Part of the problem is the frozen bowl our mixer uses.  I don't always keep it in the freezer.  I tend to make treats when the mood strikes and with the ingredients I have on hand.  Some of my favorite recipes and epic fails have resulted in this cooking style!

I had a Costco size heavy whipping cream to use.  You know why, I couldn't bare to go to another store the Wednesday before Thanksgiving toting three small children.  Didn't I see a method of ice cream that uses heavy whipping cream?  Yes thank you Kevin and Amanda's machine free method for making an ice cream base.  So I had half a pumpkin pie and all this whipping cream.  Umm problem solved I'll make ice cream!  The result is a decadent rich ice cream that was super easy to make.  On the plus side my mom is visiting and loved it too!

Machine Free Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Ingredients
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1/3 - 1/2 pumpkin pie cut into pieces
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe  

  1. Whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.  If you over whip (as long as no solid butter has formed) you can add a few teaspoons of heavy whipping cream and whip by hand.  The cream should be good again in a few seconds.  Try not to over whip again!  I do this all the time by the way.
  2. In a large bowl whisk condensed milk, spices and vanilla extract.  Gently mix in pumpkin pie pieces.
  3. Fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture until no white streaks remain.
  4. Pour into 2 quart container and freeze for at least six hours or until firm.  We let ours warm up a bit before scooping.  Scoop and enjoy!
