1(14 oz) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milkEagle Brand
2cups heavy whipping creamcold
2/3cup canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
2/3cup toasted pecans chopped, extra to decorate
1teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2teaspoon ground ginger
1/4teaspoon cloves
1/4teaspoon nutmeg
1/4teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
Pour the chilled heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start mixing on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed, whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2–3 minutes.
Use a spatula to gently fold the sweetened condensed milk into the whipped cream until smooth and well combined. Then add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt, folding gently until everything is evenly blended. Finally, fold in the chopped pecans.
Once thoroughly combined, pour the cream mixture into a 9x5-inch freezer-safe container or loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Cover the ice cream with a layer of plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil or place it inside a large freezer bag to prevent frost from forming. Freeze for about 4 hours for a soft-serve texture. For a firmer consistency, freeze for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften. Then add your favorite toppings and enjoy!Store covered or in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 weeks.
