Creamy Pumpkin Ice Cream

Prep Time: 5 mins Churn Time: 20 mins Chill Time: 4 hrs Yield: 4-6 servings

This Creamy Pumpkin Ice Cream is made with 6 ingredients and is packed with fresh pumpkin and cinnamon. Homemade dairy free pumpkin ice cream is the perfect frozen treat for late summer and early fall days.

Another homemade ice cream recipe! The last ice cream recipe was Creamy Chocolate Ice Cream, and this time it’s fall flavored and filled with the classic fall spice- cinnamon. Take it up a notch and replace with pumpkin pie spice. Better yet- sprinkle some crushed up graham crackers on top and you’ve got yourself pumpkin pie ice cream. YUM!

I worked at a homemade ice cream and chocolate shop for 4 years and every fall we came out with one of our special fall flavors-pumpkin spice ice cream. We served many cones, cups, milkshakes, sundaes out of this ice cream, but one of my favorite ways to serve it was with a cup of coffee. Not with a cup of coffee on the side, but a scoop IN a cup of coffee. Yep, that’s right. Basically a pumpkin spice latte but upgraded!

I would take a scoop of pumpkin ice cream and place it into a coffee cup, and then I would brew the coffee over the ice cream. So creamy. So pumpkin-y. SO GOOD.

So now that I made a dairy free pumpkin ice cream, I finally got to try it, and I highly recommend you do the same! Enjoy this ice cream as is, or with your favorite toppings, or upgrade your morning cup of Joe for a fun pumpkin twist.

Enjoy!

Ingredients in Pumpkin Ice Cream:

Dairy Free Heavy Whipping Cream- I recently discovered that Country Crock (my favorite vegan butter brand) just came out with a plant based heavy whipping cream. I immediately needed to try it, and it turns out it is so, so creamy! I also love Silk’s dairy free heavy whipping cream. Silk’s does have the slightest coconut taste since it’s made from coconut, and Country Crock is not. That is the only difference I noticed between the two dairy free heavy whipping creams. Highly recommend either of them.

Pumpkin- use 100% pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.

Maple Syrup- pumpkin and maple go together like two peas in a pod! Not only does this sweeten the ice cream, it provides another fall flavor.

Vanilla- vanilla is a must!

Cinnamon- the star fall spice. Can sub pumpkin pie spice.

Salt– do not omit as salt really helps bring out all the flavors.

Tools needed to make this dairy free Creamy Pumpkin Ice Cream:

• Blender– I have this Ninja blender and I love it. It’s high powered, and I’ve never been nervous about over running it, even when I make homemade oat flour out of these rolled oats.
• Spatula
• Ice Cream Maker– I have no complaints whatsoever about this ice cream maker. It works fabulously and there really is nothing better than homemade ice cream that isn’t made out of bananas.
• Freezer friendly container to store the ice cream in
• Ice cream scoop– or these cookie scoops work as well!

How to make Dairy Free Pumpkin Ice Cream:

Blend: Blend all the ingredients together in a high speed blender.

Churn into ice cream: Process according to your ice cream maker‘s directions. I find that it helps to turn the ice cream maker on first, and then pour the mixture in.

Soft and Hard Ice Cream: Remove right away and serve for soft ice cream or transfer to a freezer proof container and freeze for a few hours or until frozen for hard ice cream.

How to store leftover pumpkin ice cream:

Store in a freezer friendly container so that no air can get in, and this homemade ice cream will last up to a month.
