Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pumpkin puree homemade is nice, but good old Libby's canned pumpkin will do
  • 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese whole milk
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup milk I used whole milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  • In a high speed blender or large capacity food processor, process all the ingredients until smooth. Taste and add a little more spices, if you like.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, if possible, and them pour into your ice cream maker.
  • Freeze according to your manufacturer's instructions. The ice cream will be finished, though on the soft side, after 30-40 minutes; you can enjoy it like this, or for a firmer consistency, transfer to a container and store overnight in the freezer.
