How to make Pumpkin Ice Cream 

• Heat the half-and-half with the cinnamon, ginger, and vanilla bean in a medium saucepan with a heavy bottom. Stir the mixture every so often until it starts to steam and small bubbles form around the edges of the pot.
• Take it off the heat, cover it, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Mix the salt, egg yolks, and sugar in a small bowl. Put the bowl on a wet towel to keep it steady.
• Warm the half-and-half mixture again until it’s steaming, then slowly pour the hot milk into the egg whites while whisking all the time.
• This keeps the eggs from scrambling and is known as “tempering.” Add the dairy-yolk mixture back to the pot.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant silicone spatula and scraping the pot’s bottom and sides. Do this until the mixture starts to “stick” (make a thin film on the bottom of the pot) and/or an instant-read thermometer reads 170º.
• Take the pot off the heat right away and add the cream, squash puree, brown sugar, and nutmeg.
• With a silicone spoon, work the ice cream base through a fine-mesh strainer as you pour it through. Cover the mix and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
• Put the ice cream base in the freezer for 15 minutes and stir it twice during that time. This will give the ice cream an extra-cold start that will make it creamier.
• First, use an ice cream maker to make the ice cream. Next, scrape it into a container, cover it, and put it in the freezer to “cure” for one to two hours, or until it is hard enough to scoop.
• Cover the ice cream and store it in the freezer for up to a few months. However, it tastes best in the first few days after it is made.
