Scooped: Gingerbread and Trappist Ale Ice Cream

As the temperature drops and New York's skies take on a dignified gray, we've put our window fans away and taken out our fall jackets. Summer may be on the way out, but making ice cream isn't. A new season...

Homemade Speculoos Ice Cream

Biscoff cookies, whether real or copycat, give this silky ice cream an intriguing caramel flavor, while dairy dilutes the spices into something mellow and mild. With a shot of espresso, it makes an amazing twist on affogato.

Gingerbread Cookies

These easy, homemade gingerbread cookies come together fast because there's no need to chill the dough before rolling.

Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream

This brown sugar ice cream is infused with a cinnamon stick, toasted oats, and a vanilla bean, then studded with crispy oat clusters, crunchy pecans, and chewy dried fruit. Tart cherries work especially well, but dried fruits such as cranberries and black mission figs work well too, so feel free to use whatever you like best. It's everything you love about oatmeal cookies in a scoop of homemade ice cream.

Oreo Ice Cream

This ice cream may look like plain chocolate, but it's not—it's a super concentrated version of cookies 'n cream. Its rich flavor and color come from crushed Oreo wafers (which you can feel free to buy or make from scratch), with a handful of crushed sandwich cookies folded in at the end. It tastes just like Oreos, but in a creamy, scoop-shop form.

White Chocolate Ginger Shortbread Ice Cream

Trader Joe's makes the best white chocolate for this ice cream. It's extremely creamy with strong notes of vanilla, chocolate, and herbs.

Ginger-Raspberry Swirl Ice Cream

Swirl ice creams are the best of both worlds—ribbons of sweet and sticky jam folded into rich and creamy ice cream. It's like a sundae in one scoop.

Ginger Green Tea Ice Cream

Bittersweet matcha pairs beautifully with the crisp, refreshing heat of ginger.

Lemon Ginger Blackberry Swirl Ice Cream

This ice cream pairs a bright, slightly spicy lemon-ginger base with a dark, sweet, and tart blackberry swirl.

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

A frozen alternative to pumpkin pie, with gingersnap cookies and candied ginger folded inside.
