No-Churn Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
Just like the fall season, the flavor of this ice cream is very pumpkin-forward. The mouthfeel is smooth and decadent, reminiscent of your favorite Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. Some might even say that it’s pumpkin fluff adjacent. The crushed gingersnap cookies and caramel sauce add a rich vanilla vibe and a crunchy-creamy textural experience with every spoonful. But perhaps the best part about this recipe is that it’s very approachable for those who have never made ice cream before. While traditional custard-based ice cream is made with egg yolks, sugar, whole milk and heavy cream, this one simply calls for heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Plus, the no-churn factor means it takes a fraction of the time to make.

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
½ cup pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch kosher salt
2 cups heavy cream
â…“ cup caramel sauce, plus more for serving
½ cup crushed gingersnap cookies, plus more for serving
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, vanilla extract and salt. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

- Layer about ¼ of the pumpkin cream in an 8x4-inch bread pan. Drizzle about ¼ of the caramel sauce and sprinkle ¼ of the crushed gingersnaps on top. Repeat these layers 3 more times until the ice cream and mix-ins are used up. Swirl the top of the ice cream with a toothpick.
