Heavy cream Whole milk Dark brown sugar Egg yolks Vanilla Pumpkin purée Pumpkin spice Bourbon
Bring heavy cream, whole milk and dark brown sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan. Once it simmers, turn off the heat.
1
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice to make one cohesive mixture.
2
Ladle in a scoop of the warm cream mixture and whisk. Repeat this several times. This helps gently cook the eggs.
3
Stir the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the warm cream and add the pumpkin purée.
4
Turn the heat on again. Continue to cook the custard mixture until it becomes thick enough to coat a wooden spoon. Pour into a mixing bowl, cover and refrigerate.
5
Churn the ice cream mixture according to the manufacturer's directions. In the last couple minutes of churning, add the bourbon. Freeze for several hours.

Now grab a spoon and enjoy the most perfect fall ice cream. With the shot of bourbon and warm spices, this pumpkin-bourbon ice cream is just what you need for the fall.
