Add Pumpkin for Pumpkin Ice Cream

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Jennifer Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make this delicious sweet and refreshing pumpkin ice cream. Okay, our final step in the mixture of the pumpkin ice cream base is adding in the pumpkin. Remember, this pumpkin was mixed with vanilla and has been sitting in the refrigerator for the last 3 hours, or you use preretriggered pumpkin. Point being that it is very cold. Our custard has cooled down to room temperature because we do not want to add cold pumpkin to hot custard. We also can not stick a hot custard into the refrigerator. We just want to mix this with the wire whisk. It's going to take a little bit of effort because the pumpkin is nice and solid and cold. You just want to keep on mixing. You don't want to whip it. You don't want to try and stir this too vigorously. Just a nice, smooth, steady motion. With the whisk, it gets incorporated really quickly. You'll notice that the custard had thickened up a little bit in the cooling. Now, adding the pumpkin is going to make it thicken up even more. You just want to make sure that all the pumpkin is incorporated. By now, the custard is going to be nice and cool, and it'll be ready for the next step."
