Why this easy pumpkin ice cream recipe works?

It's super quick, fool-proof, ultra-delicious, and no special equipment is needed!

And surprise, even though it's pumpkin-flavored, it's not heavy, dense, or overly seasoned, as pumpkin desserts can sometimes be.

Honestly, it will take about 5 minutes from start to freezer.

How long does it take to freeze?

I would suggest freezing it (covered) for a minimum of 4 hours.

Do I have to use cinnamon whiskey in this recipe?

No. You can completely omit it if you'd like.

A light splash of alcohol helps to keep any ice crystals to a minimum in no-churn ice cream. However, the taste will still be delicious should you choose to forgo the cinnamon whiskey in this recipe.

What can be used in place of the cinnamon whiskey?

A teaspoon of cinnamon extract will work nicely, but it's a completely optional ingredient.

Best practices for making no-churn ice cream:

• Make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean and dry.
• Chill the bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before whipping the cream.
• Do not overbeat the cream.
• Always add a small pinch of salt to increase the flavor profile.
• Once you've achieved soft peaks, it's time to whip in the remaining ingredients
• Always cover the ice cream while freezing.
• Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.

The easy instructions:

• Chill bowl and beaters before whipping the cream.
• Start and slow speed and gradually increase the whipping speed to high.
• Beat until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat the cream.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, grated nutmeg, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon.
• Beat to combine.
• If using cinnamon whiskey, fold in until just combined.
• Spoon the ice cream mixture evenly into a 13 x 9 baking dish.
• Sprinkle with ground cinnamon, cover and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours.
