Ingredients
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Milk Caramel for Pumpkin Ice Cream
6 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree for Desserts, or canned
Candied Pumpkin Slices (optional)
Preparation
Combine milk, cream, and caramel in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently as caramel melts.
Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Whisk egg and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. While whisking, very slowly add a little hot milk mixture to egg mixture. Add more milk mixture, whisking, until combined. Add vanilla, lemon juice, and puree; combine. Strain into a clean bowl; chill in ice bath.
Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After churning, transfer to freezer until firm. Serve with milk caramel and candied pumpkin, if desired.
