When I am at a crossroad and unsure of which measure to use , my instinct would be to split the difference and use 1/3 cup.........

Pumpkin is a tad problematic. It's got a lot of water, a good deal of fiber/pulp and not a huge amount of flavor. If you add a 1/2 C. I think that it wouldn't affect the recipe a great deal, but at the same time, I'm not sure how much pumpkin flavoring you're going to get. If you add more... the chemistry of the ice cream changes.

It'll probably take some experimentation, but I'd try subbing 1/2 the cream with pumpkin. I would also blend the pumpkin so that it breaks down completely and is smooth in the final product.

Another approach to consider (this is what I'd try, for myself) is to leave the cream quantity alone, add another egg, add a half cup of reduced* pumpkin puree, a tsp of molasses and lots of "pumpkin pie spice"...you get the colour from the pumpkin, and some of the fiber, and the flavour is mostly in the spicing IMHO.

* I'd 'saute' pumpkin in a nonstick pan stirring constantly on low heat til some of the water is steamed off and it's thickened.

Next batch (may be a while, got in-laws visiting!) I'd certainly like to give that a try. Pumpkin sounds like a great idea!

I made a marshmellow ice cream with Davinci marshmellow syrup and some marshmellow flavor concentrate (I live marshmellow!!) throw in a handful of salted cocktail peanuts--fluffer nutter ice cream--I'm going to die with a smile on my face!

Smack me in the head! Yolk, of course...

First time I've met someone that "lives" marshmallow! Sounds yummers, Lisa.

Hmmmmmmm... reducing the pumpkin... Yes, I think that would work nicely. With baked goods like pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, our taste buds are conditioned to well cooked pumpkin. It only makes sense to cook the pumpkin a bit for ice cream.

I was thinking the same as someone above mentioned.. the pumpkin pie spice is usually the flavor enjoyed.. (not always though.. we have some ppl on these forums who eat pumpkin danish for brekkie!).. I do not have any in my cupboard right now.. so I don't know if it has sugar in the ingredients or not!!..
let us know how it turned out lisa-bo-bisa!

I do the pumpkin danish for breakfast in the fall and winter when it's on sell. However I put in healthy doses of cinnimon, ginger, cloves and allspice.

I would love to know how the pumpkin turned out as well. I am currently experimenting with infusing vodka and I have a pumpkin/pumpkin pie spice one that I am going to add a polyd/shugr syrup to (to turn it into a low carb pumpkin liqueur of sorts) and I think that would mix in well with the ice cream to give it some scoopability and flavoring.

I should have pumpkin results in the next few weeks. My favorites have been coconut, marshmallow, and egg nog.
