Instructions

Pumpkin Ice Cream
1. Whisk pumpkin and vanilla in a small bowl until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Combine egg yolks, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, ginger, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
3. Combine remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a medium saute pan. Whisk over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until bubbles form around edge of pan. Remove from heat.
4. Gradually whisk 1/2 cup of warm cream and sugar into egg mixture until smooth. Pour egg mixture into saute pan with cream and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes, or until custard is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, but not boiling.
5. Strain custard through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. Place bowl in an ice bath and stir to cool. Whisk pumpkin mixture into custard. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly to top of custard. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.
6. Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. Add bourbon during the last minute of churning. Store covered in freezer until ready to serve.
Milkshakes
7. Place ice cream and heavy cream in a blender. Blend on medium speed until smooth, adding additional heavy cream if milkshakes are too thick.
8. Pour into glasses and serve.
