Celebrate the cozy flavors of fall with this creamy, homemade pumpkin spice ice cream. Made with real pumpkin puree, warm spices, and a luscious cream base, this dessert is easy to prepare using the Ninja Creami. Perfect for autumn gatherings or a quiet treat at home!

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp full-fat cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ tsp pumpkin spice mix
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1½ tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  1. Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 10 seconds or until pliable.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, pumpkin spice mix, and brown sugar until smooth and paste-like.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients

  1. Stir in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually whisk in whole milk to avoid lumps.
  2. Add heavy cream and a pinch of salt, stirring until the mixture is silky smooth with no clumps.

Step 3: Freeze the Base

  1. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, ensuring it doesn’t exceed the max fill line. Level the surface for even freezing.
  2. Secure the lid and freeze on a flat surface for at least 22–24 hours.

Step 4: Spin into Ice Cream

  1. Once frozen solid, place the container into the Ninja Creami machine and select “ICE CREAM” mode. If crumbly after spinning, add a splash of milk or cream and use “RE-SPIN” for a smoother texture.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in bowls with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an elegant touch. Pair with ginger snaps or pecan pralines for added crunch!

Tips & Tricks:

  • No Ninja Creami? Use an ice cream maker or freeze in a container, stirring every couple of hours (though texture may vary).
  • For extra warmth, add more cinnamon or nutmeg to taste. Prefer less spice? Reduce pumpkin spice mix to ¼ tsp.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store leftovers in the pint container for up to one week in the freezer. Re-spin before serving to restore creaminess—do not microwave!

This recipe brings together rich autumn flavors in an easy-to-make dessert that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!
