Pumpkin Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Swirl

October 23, 2017
IMG_8057.jpg

I've finally decided to embrace fall (even though the NYC weather is still summer-like) and this past weekend celebrated by doing some Fall-AF activities. On Saturday I attended an event with The Feed Feed and Vitamix that featured a DELICIOUS Fall-themed brunch. I'm excited to share the recipe I made for the brunch soon!

Sunday morning I woke up at 4 am (ARG!!!!) since Pat had a super early flight to Los Angeles. Unfortunately, living in a tiny apartment means that when one person is awake, the other person is most likely also awake. I decided to take advantage of my early day and made three(!) kinds of caramel because my sister and our friend, Nica, were coming over so we could make caramel apples. A couple hilarious and very messy hours later, the caramel apples were completed and decorated. Then I made a pumpkin-butternut squash soup and brought it over to their apartment later that evening so we could CARVE A PUMPKIN!!! Guys, I honestly cannot remember the last time I carved a pumpkin. Definitely not since I have moved to New York. It was really hard - I was sweating after carving the face out. But it was so fun! It was nice to take advantage of the season and be spontaneous.

Speaking of pumpkins, today is the VIRTUAL PUMPKIN PARTY! I'm so excited to be participating with my Pumpkin Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Swirl. Developing this recipe was so fun and it was unlike any ice cream that I've ever tasted. Pumpkins are so versatile and I always forget that recipes can be made with them besides your typical pumpkin pie. Check out all of the other delicious recipes in the link above!

This ice cream is SUPER decadent and rich. Think pumpkin pie on steroids. Seriously, the flavors were so intense and dreamy! Adding a salted caramel swirl notched it up even further!

Check out all of the recipes from the Virtual Pumpkin Party.

Pumpkin Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Swirl
(makes about 2 pints)


Freeze the ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions (I use cuisinart and I need to freeze it about 24 hours beforehand. In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine the pumpkin purée, milk, cream, spices, in salt. Set the mixture over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Once it gets to a boil, immediately remove it from the heat.

In a smaller metal bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugars until light and airy. Pour one cup of the warm pumpkin mixture slowly into the egg yolk mixture to temper it, stirring constantly.

Pour the tempered yolk and pumpkin mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the cream batter. Cook over low heat, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until the custard thickens significantly. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer custard into a heatproof glass bowl. Let the custard cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

Once chilled, transfer the custard to an ice cream maker. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. On the last churn, add in 1/4 cup of salted caramel in a slow stream. Serve immediately if you prefer soft, creamy ice cream. For firmer consistency, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for about 2 hours.

Pumpkin Ice Cream
(modified from King Arthur Flour)

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch of salt

Salted Caramel Sauce
(I always use Bobby Flay's recipe and it never disappoints - literally the best salted caramel ever and it can be modified to your taste)

In a medium stainless steel saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup cold water and stir to combine. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar has turned a deep amber hue, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm the cream in a small saucepan. When the caramel is ready, slowly whisk in the warm cream and continue simmering the mixture until it is smooth, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, then whisk in the butter, and then the salt, to taste. Serve warm and over ice cream. Add in more salt if desired!

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¾ teaspoon flaky sea salt

Hi! I'm Katherine and I live in Brooklyn. I love baking, trying new food, exploring, traveling, reading, and taking photos.

Happy 💞 Day! Hope everyone had some good chocolate today. ❤️🥰
Went to Mexico a couple weeks ago and ate a diet of 95% tacos and refreshing cocktails. 🌴🍹 Getting out of the Northeast when it was 6 degrees wasn’t bad either. 🤗 Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines and the seafood in Tulum was so fresh and flavorful. Next places in Mexico I want to visit: Mexico City and Oaxaca. #travel #mexico #tulum
Back on here after a nice looong break. 💆🏻‍♀️
In the past couple of months I felt zero urge to bake and it was nice to get away from it for a while to clear my head, relax, and not spend hours taking/editing photos. Moving forward I’ll be doing a little less baking, and more cooking and non-cooking photos, as I’m expanding my interests and also changing my diet (to involve wayyy fewer sweet things). 🌟
I still enjoy creating but I think it’s just starting to come through in different ways! This morning I was at the grocery store and I saw these beautiful artichokes, so I steamed them and made a tzatziki dipping sauce. It was SO simple and so good! 
I’m glad to be back taking some foodie pics. 😊 #f52grams
Better late than never! 🍪 The day of the #virtualcookieparty2018 is over soon and I ALMOST forgot to post my pic but here it is! This year I made brown sugar coconut macaroons, dipped in dark chocolate and topped with sprinkles (the more glitter the better). ✨ The recipe is really easy with just a few ingredients, and is on the blog now. Thanks @cosetteskitchen for hosting!
Giveaway! 🍹 This holiday season I’m looking forward to gift giving. There’s nothing better than festive holiday cocktails - one of my favorite winter drinks is a spicy margarita. I’ve partnered with @wandpdesign to give away a craft cocktail set pictured here. 🥂 To enter, leave a comment and tag a friend, and follow me @katherineinbrooklyn and @wandpdesign! Winner will be chosen 12/14 at noon EST - US entries only.
It’s #nationalcookieday so I had to post some pre-baked ones since I typically like the dough better than the finished cookie! 🍪 Hoping to make some more cookies this weekend. ✨✨
New recipe! It’s #yesyoucranberry. ✨✨ These cranberry cinnamon buns are super gooey and are on the blog now just in time for 🦃 day! #cinnamonbuns
Pink cake for getting through today. ✨ 
@patgmusic and I went to Wildair tonight for dinner! I’ve been dying to go there for years and am so glad we finally tried it. I’ll be dreaming of the oysters, bread, and olive oil forever. ✨✨✨
Feeling hopeful after the Midterm elections so I was motivated to post a recipe on the blog after almost a month of not posting. 😱 There’s work to be done but it’s a good reminder that it’s important to focus on the big issues in life, but also the little things that make you happy. And for me, the little things are doughnuts (and this food blog.) 🍩 So the recipe for these baked banana doughnuts is on the blog now. ✨
