Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is an easy homemade ice cream recipe that tastes just like a slice of your favorite pumpkin pie!  This perfectly spiced ice cream is great for serving on top of your holiday pies, and makes a fantastic dessert on its own!

My pumpkin pie ice cream tastes exactly like classic pumpkin pie!

I went back and forth whether to offer up a unique take on pumpkin ice cream, or to go with the classic flavor, and the classic won out. I will tell you that as a long time pumpkin ice cream lover, this one is really good. As an experiment I used the recipe on the can as my guide, I simply left out the eggs. The first time I made it it it was good, but there was just a little something missing. It turned out that a bit of sweetened condensed milk did the trick.  The ice cream is especially creamy, and the spice blend is spot on.

A side benefit is that it’s lower in fat than regular ice cream because it contains no heavy cream at all.

The recipe for this pumpkin pie ice cream uses the entire can of pumpkin, so you know this is going to have a more robust pumpkin flavor than you get from store bought brands.  It’s quite lovely, and if you’re a pumpkin pie lover, you’re going to flip.

Which ice cream machine do I recommend?

I get asked all the time about what machine I use. I use and recommend Cuisinart. I’ve had my machine for years without any issues, I think because there are no fussy electronic parts to break down ~ it’s a simple motor that turns the freezer bowl for churning the ice cream and it works quickly and perfectly every time.

• The machine I use, and it’s the base model. It works great for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and sorbets, and makes all of them in about 2o minutes. Click HERE or click on the image for more info.
