Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Spices & Additives

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon guar gum (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground clove, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, pure vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.
  2. Heat the mixture: Place the saucepan on the stove and heat the mixture until it becomes hot. Do not allow it to boil or simmer; the mixture should just be warmed through.
  3. Add guar gum slowly: While continuously whisking, very slowly sprinkle in the guar gum. This step is crucial to prevent clumping of the stabilizer.
  4. Thicken the mixture: Continue whisking until the mixture starts to thicken slightly, indicating that the ingredients have blended well and the guar gum has activated.
  5. Cool and transfer: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Then, use a spoon or ladle to pour the mixture into your popsicle molds.
  6. Freeze the popsicles: Place the molds in the freezer and let them freeze for at least 8 hours to fully set.
  7. Serve: Once fully frozen, carefully pop the popsicles out of their molds and enjoy your creamy, spiced dessert.

Notes

  • Guar gum is an excellent ingredient used to stabilize ice creams and popsicles. It helps reduce ice crystal formation, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture.
  • If you don’t have guar gum, you can omit it, but expect a slightly icier texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or maple syrup as per your taste preference.
  • Ensure the mixture is not boiling when heating to maintain the delicate flavors and texture.
