I just had to do it and make this Pumpkin Spice Latte ice cream. What better way to celebrate the pumpkin season than with something cool, creamy and spicy? I can't tell you how many times I've been to the coffee shop for my morning indulgence, a hot pumpkin spice latte, so this is simply the opposite, without the drive-through window.

Making your own ice cream is easy; just mix whole milk, cream, sugar, and flavorings, and then mix in your ice cream machine.
First, we need to make the ice cream base, and it starts with the spices. One of my favorite spices is ginger, and I like this candied ginger from The Ginger People Baker's Cut Crystallized Ginger Chips, 7 Ounce pack
, but feel free to use freshly grated ginger or powdered ginger. I keep these crystallized ginger chips to add to baked goods like cookies, pies, and bread. They come in tiny sugar-coated chunks and are soft and chewy; I also eat them like candy.
Measure out your spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and candied ginger, and don't forget the espresso powder.
Heat the milk and add the sugar to dissolve, then add all the ingredients. Stir, and there you have it, your ice cream mixture; super simple.
Now, we are ready to freeze the ice cream. I use a small ice cream maker, and the freezer bowl needs to freeze for 24 hours before you make the ice cream. I keep mine in the freezer because you never know when you need a bowl of ice cream.
You can add different mix-ins to each batch of ice cream you freeze, which is great for parties. Set out chocolate chips, nuts, marshmallows, fudge, or anything you like, and have fun making your own creations.
Make a batch of these Easy Pumpkin Bars and top them with a scoop of this ice cream of the ultimate fall-flavored dessert or this Pumpkin Pecan Crisp topped with lots of crunchy pecans.
