# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin tin with 6 paper liners.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until evenly blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, egg, and milk until smooth. Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and mix gently until just incorporated. Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips without overmixing.
04 - Spoon batter into prepared muffin liners. Bake muffins for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool fully, then cut three muffins into 1-inch cubes for mix-ins.
05 - In a clean bowl, whisk heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until smooth and sugar has dissolved.
06 - Transfer mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20 to 25 minutes, until thickened and creamy.
07 - Once ice cream is nearly set, gently fold in muffin cubes and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips using a spatula.
08 - Move churned ice cream into a freezer-safe container. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours until solid.
09 - Scoop ice cream into bowls and serve. Garnish with extra muffin cubes or chocolate chips as desired.
