Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Ice Cream

This Pumpkin cookies and cream ice cream is creamy, custardy, and it's loaded with crushed Oreo cookies. 


Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Ice Cream


I've been on an ice cream kick lately. I love combining my favorite flavors and mix-ins into ice cream. I could pretty much eat ice cream for breakfast lunch and dinner.

While I've been having fun with no churn ice cream (such as this birthday cake ice cream and this peanut butter ice cream), this pumpkin and chocolate cookie ice cream is definitely a "do churn" ice cream. The main reason for making this ice cream from a custard is that pumpkin puree is very liquid-y, and does not lend itself to the no churn formula.

Plus, this pumpkin cookies and cream ice cream is amazing.

Tips for Making Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Ice Cream: 


First, you will need to make a custard base of the pumpkin puree, 5 egg yolks, sugar, salt, and spices, which you will cook until it coats the back of a spoon.

Next, add some vanilla and bourbon, and strain the mixture through a strainer to make sure there are no egg solids (scrambled eggs) in the ice cream mixture.

Finally, cool the mixture and then freeze it in your ice cream freezer. I have the most basic version of an ice cream maker, and it works pretty well!

Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Ice Cream with Oreos


To spice this ice cream, if you have some pumpkin pie spice, definitely use it. Apple pie spice will work too. If you don't have either, just add a teaspoon of cinnamon with a pinch of ground cloves and ground ginger.

Pumpkin Cookies and Cream Recipe Variations:


Instead of the Oreos, you could add crumbled chocolate brownies to this ice cream. You could also add chocolate cookie wafers.

Mini chocolate chips would work in this recipe too.

If ice cream is not your jam, but you like pumpkin and chocolate, just make this chocolate and pumpkin cheesecake instead!

P.S. If you love ice cream, be sure to try making black coffee ice cream
