Because I am lazy.
And impatient.
When you cook an ice cream base, you have to allow it to fully cool before making the ice cream. The other night, when I had a hankering for pumpkin ice cream, and I wanted it sooner rather than later. And I certainly didn't want to wait the 2-3 hours for it cool.
So I winged {wung?} it. And it is definitely tasty enough to share with you.
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar (I used dehydrated cane juice)
2 Tbsp. maple syrup (the real stuff)
3/4 cup puréed pumpkin (or canned pumpkin)
1 1/2 cups cream
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix whole milk and sugars until sugars are fully dissolved. Add in remaining ingredients and mix until combined. (Note: although the pumpkin is puréed, there will be some pumpkin pulp. You can strain the final mixture through a sieve before processing if you desire a smoother texture. But remember-- that pulp is good for you!) Pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and process according to manufacturers directions.

I've never had pumpkin ice cream before, but it sounds delicious!
This looks and sounds like the best thing ever.
You know what? I AM THE SAME WAY! I hate having to cook my ice cream bases. I'm far too impatient for that. This sounds awesome...the perfect autumn-inspired ice cream. I'm saving this recipe...for when I get the urge ;) Thanks so much for sharing it w/ the hearth and soul hop this week!
I'm with you, hate having to cook the base. This is great, we love ice cream year round. Perfect for the upcoming holidays. Thank you!
I just re-found my ice cream maker yesterday - it had got lost when we moved house. So this sounds an ideal recipe to get it going again :)
Thank you for sharing it, I found you through the Hearth & Soul Blog Hop.

This looks wonderful! I love ice cream and the idea of pumpkin ice cream makes me very very very happy! I've got to get an ice cream maker.
Also, I'm hosting a CSN giveaway this week and I'd love it if you checked it out!
What a fun ice cream. My husband is the ice cream man here, he is going to just love this recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I actually find making egg-bases for ice cream very pleasurable, but if there's a quicker way to get ice cream I'm all for that too. I definitely have to try this one - I can't get canned pumpkin here though, so I'm going to have to cook and puree pumpkin, which I guess will make up for not making a cooked base :-)
