Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream Base

  • 200 g (¾ cup) pumpkin puree
  • 190 ml (¾ cup) condensed milk
  • 300 ml (1¼ cups) double cream
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger

Mix-Ins

  • 100 g (3.5 oz) walnuts, toasted and chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger until smooth and well combined.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the double cream until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture, using a spatula to keep the airiness intact.
  4. Stir in the toasted and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container and smooth the top.
  6. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight, until firm.
  7. When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for a couple minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
  8. Top with extra walnuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use canned or homemade pumpkin puree—just make sure it’s not pumpkin pie filling.
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or maple syrup to the base.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans or leave them out for a nut-free version.
  • To toast walnuts: spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • No ice cream maker needed—this is a no-churn recipe!
