This Dairy Free Pumpkin Ice Cream has all the spices of pumpkin pie and is so creamy and delicious! Only 6 ingredients, naturally sweetened and easy to make!
I have always loved everything pumpkin- long before it was cool 🙂 I remember when I was a teenager making pumpkin bread, cookies, cake- pretty much anything I could once fall came around. This is the first time I have tried pumpkin ice cream though and oh- it did not disappoint! All my favorite flavors packed in a frozen dessert-yum!
It is so easy to make- only 6 ingredients and less than 10 minutes of prep. It does have to chill in the fridge before churning so you have to plan ahead a little. Once you put it in the ice cream maker, you can eat it right away at the consistency of soft serve, or freeze it for a harder ice cream.
Ice Cream Ingredients
The flavor of this ice cream is incredible! It tastes just like pumpkin pie, but in ice cream form. Maple syrup is the perfect sweetener for it because it pairs so well with the pumpkin and spices. Full fat coconut milk keeps this ice cream so creamy. The gelatin keeps it from getting icy in the freezer, so that is an important ingredient.
Using the ice cream maker
An ice cream maker is an important part of this recipe. Freeze the base and then it's ready to use. It churns this up in just minutes and is so simple to use.
This dairy free pumpkin ice cream combines the warm, comforting taste of pumpkin with the cool and refreshing qualities of ice cream, resulting in a dessert that's both comforting and indulgent.
