Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- A pinch of salt


Step 1: Prepare the Ice Cream Base
- Combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until everything is well combined.
Step 2: Freeze the Mixture
- Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami pint container. Make sure to stay within the max fill line.
- Place the lid on the pint container and freeze it for at least 24 hours. This ensures the mixture is solid enough for the Ninja Creami to process properly.
Step 3: Process the Ice Cream
- After the mixture has frozen completely, remove it from the freezer. Take off the lid.
- Insert the pint into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and secure it in place according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Select the "Ice Cream" function on the Ninja Creami and let it process.


Step 4: Mix-Ins (Optional)
- If you want to add mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or crushed cookies, create a well in the center of the ice cream after the initial processing.
- Add your desired mix-ins, reattach the lid, and select the "Mix- Ins" function on the Ninja Creami to incorporate them evenly.


Step 5: Serve
- Once the ice cream is processed to a creamy consistency, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately.
- If you prefer a firmer texture, return the ice cream to the freezer for a while before serving.


Tips:
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream before serving for a hint of extra sweetness.
- Store any leftovers in the Ninja Creami pint container in the freezer. Reprocess as needed to restore the creamy texture.
