Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole milk
¾ cup brown sugar, can use coconut sugar
1 ½ cups whipping cream
1 cup pumpkin puree
¼ cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 store-bought pie crust, optional

Method

* Gently warm the milk over medium heat in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. When it starts to steam, remove the pot from the heat. Whisk the brown sugar into the milk until it dissolves.

* Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot and stir well.

* Put the pot into your fridge until it is cold.

* If using the optional pie crust, bake it first then let it cool completely. Break it into bite-sized pieces and reserve a handful to sprinkle on top of the ice cream.

* Pour the ice cream into your ice cream maker and let it churn until it is soft-set – usually about 20 minutes. Add the pie crust pieces to your ice cream maker and let them get mixed into the ice cream.

* Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-proof container, sprinkle the reserved handful of pie crust pieces over the top, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
