Storage Suggestions
Airtight Container: Transfer the freshly made ice cream to an airtight container. This helps prevent the absorption of odors from other foods in the freezer and minimizes the formation of ice crystals.
Pressed Plastic Wrap: Before sealing the container, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream. This helps create a barrier and prevents the formation of ice crystals on the top.
Store in the Freezer: Place the container in the coldest part of your freezer to maintain a consistent temperature. Avoid storing the ice cream in the freezer door as it is more susceptible to temperature fluctuations.
Avoid Temperature Changes: Try to minimize temperature changes by keeping the freezer door closed as much as possible. Fluctuations in temperature can lead to the formation of ice crystals and affect the texture of the ice cream.

Detailed Recipe With Steps
Step 1. Make Mango Pumpkin Puree
In a blender, add raw pumpkin, blend it. To that mixture add milk, mango pulp and blend again to make a smooth paste.
If you wish to add cream, add it at this stage.
Step 2. Boil Milk with Cornflour
In a pan, add milk, sugar and spices and cook on slow flame. Once it boils, add cornflour mixed with warm milk and keep sauteing. The milk cornflour mixture would thicken up.
