Method

  1. 1

    Slurry. Whisk the cornflour with 60 ml of the milk until smooth.

  2. 2

    Simmer. Bring the rest of the milk, the cream, brown sugar, honey and salt to a simmer, whisk in the slurry and cook for 3 min, stirring, until it lightly coats the spatula.

  3. 3

    Spice. Take off the heat and whisk in the pumpkin, spices and vanilla. For the smoothest texture, blend for 30 seconds.

  4. 4

    Chill. Sieve into the bowl over iced water, stir until cool, then cover and chill for at least 4 h.

  5. 5

    Churn. Churn for 20-25 min until thick.

  6. 6

    Freeze. Pack into the container, cover the surface and freeze for at least 3 h. Leave in the fridge for 15 min before serving.

Storage

Keep covered with baking paper pressed on the surface in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Soften for 10-15 min in the fridge before scooping.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.24 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 120 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide

Free sugars

Sugar (daily guide)

15.3 g per serving

30.6 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 61.2 % of the ideal 25 g

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
