How to Make Ice Cream

I am going to show you how to make this delicious sweet and refreshing pumpkin ice cream. Now that we’ve let our custard base cool in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to 24. Fortunately I have another one sitting in the refrigerator waiting for me.

We’re going to put it in the ice cream maker now, I mentioned earlier that the ice cream maker that you use is totally up to your choice. You can use an electric one, you can use a fancy electric one that has a refrigerator in it, so you don’t even have to worry about freezing the unit.

This is one modest unit where you freeze the bowl and it stirs it for you. You can also use a manual one, where your hand cranking the ice cream maker. You can even use one which is a bowl, that you just toss back and forth.

You can see that the custard has gotten nice and super thick now. It’s going to make a fantastic base for our ice cream. So the important thing when using an ice cream maker is to follow the directions that comes out with it. This recipe makes about a quart of pumpkin ice cream, so you want to make sure that your ice cream maker holds at least a quart.

If not a little bit more. Because the ice cream will expand once it starts mixing. You also want to make sure, that you get your implements in there pretty quickly. The ice cream will start freezing as soon as you put it in.

Now I’m putting the final touches and putting the machine together. I am going to turn it on now. Once this get going, it’s probably gonna take about 20-25 minutes until the ice cream is finished freezing in the machine.
