In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, heavy cream, whole milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.

    Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Whisk until all the spices are evenly incorporated.

      Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions until it thickens to a soft-serve consistency.

        Once the ice cream is starting to freeze, add in the crushed gingersnap cookies, mixing until evenly distributed.
