Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz) can unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 2 whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
- 8- 10 cloves
- 1 3-inch piece ginger, sliced
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 6 large egg yolks
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp bourbon (optional)
Instructions
- Combine pumpkin puree and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook, string constantly to prevent scorching, until reduced by half, about 20 minutes. You should have 1 cup of pumpkin puree.
- Whisk in milk, cream, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Reduce heat to medium-low and gently cook for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Meanwhile, whisk together maple syrup and egg yolks in a large bowl and set aside.
- Whisk about 1 cup of hot milk into the egg yolk mixture. Repeat with 1 more cup of hot milk, whisking vigorously. Return this custard to the saucepan and gently heat, whisking often, until mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Don’t let it boil.
- Strain through a fine mesh sieve; stir in vanilla and bourbon (if using). Let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serve as is or transfer to an airtight container and freeze until needed.
