Pumpkin fans unite; here is the best recipe ever for pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. Xoxo
Ingredients:
- 15oz can pumpkin (or make your own pumpkin puree)
- 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1 pt heavy cream
- 1 8oz pkg cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions: (A KitchenAid mixer was used but you can use a hand mixer.)
- Chill the metal bowl to the KitchenAid mixer in the freezer.
- Once cold, add cream and mix on medium for about 3-5 minutes, until it comes together and is thick enough to stick to the whisk attachment without falling off, but not too thick, or you will have butter.
- Put whipped cream into another bowl and place in fridge.
- Rinse and dry KitchenAid bowl.
- Put sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin, 1 Tbsp vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg into the bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
- Put in another bowl and set aside.
- Rinse and dry the KitchenAid bowl.
- Beat softened cream cheese with 1 tsp vanilla extract and whip until smooth.
- Add ½ the ice cream mixture to the cream cheese.
- Divide whipped cream into each bowl and fold in.
- Add mixtures to a loaf pan alternating.
- Use a knife to swirl mixtures.
- Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 5 hours or overnight.
- If it’s too hard to scoop, allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.
NOTE: Feel free to skip separating into two bowls (one with and one without cream cheese) and just all all the cream cheese into one.
