Pumpkin Gingersnap Ice Cream

Who knew Tuesday would be such a culinary delight-ful day!


Again, this recipe is from the October 2011 Sunset issue. You can find the recipe here.


Do you see those little speckles? They are speckles of goodness (gingersnap cookies).


Ingredients
1 pt. whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup Homemade Pumpkin Purée
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coarsely crushed gingersnaps
2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)

Preparation
1. Whisk all ingredients except gingersnaps and bourbon in a bowl to blend. Strain into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's directions. (I actually skipped this part...oops. Hey, working from home and cooking at the same time can be distracting...but luckily it wasn't too much of an error. I'll be sure to strain it next time I make this, and I *will* make this again)
2. Scrape ice cream into a bowl and stir in gingersnaps and bourbon. Freeze, covered, until scoopable, 2 1/2 hours and up to 1 week (gingersnaps soften somewhat after 1 day).

Added to the milk & cream:

All blended together:


The ice cream maker does it's magic, and into the freezer for a couple hours:


And then, this goodness can be enjoyed!
