INGREDIENT NOTES

Below are some notes about some of the ingredients for this pumpkin ice cream. Please see recipe card for measurements and instructions.

• Heavy cream- Use cold, full fat heavy cream.
• Sweetened condensed milk- You’ll need one can of sweetened condensed milk.
• Pumpkin puree- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree. Be careful not to confuse pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie filling. They are not the same thing.
• Cinnamon crumble- One of my favorite parts of pumpkin pie is the crust! This cinnamon crumble tastes like little bits of pie crust in the ice cream!
• Brown butter- Use unsalted butter. The butter will be melted then browned. Browning the butter only takes minutes but adds such a nice toasty, nutty flavor. It gives butter more depth of flavor.
