Use two separate bowls. In the first, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, cream, salt, vanilla, Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend, and ⅓ of a cup of the sugar. In the other bowl, combine the other ⅔ of a cup of sugar and the egg yolks. Whisk both mixtures separately until fully combined. The egg yolk mixture should be whisked until the color lightens to a pale yellow and is smooth. The milk mixture should be whisked until the sugar is almost dissolved.

Next, pour the milk mixture into the egg mixture and thoroughly combine the two mixtures.

Place the contents into your ice cream or gelato machine and mix per your machine’s instructions until thickened and creamy. Our gelato machine takes about 45 minutes to make this recipe. Once done, place your gelato in a freezer safe container and place in the freezer overnight for best results.

Put one scoop of gelato in a heat-proof mug and pour one hot espresso over the top. Enjoy!
