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.
