Description

Creamy, cozy, and perfectly spiced, this Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream delivers the flavors of fall in a cool and dreamy dairy-free dessert. Made with simple ingredients including coconut milk and pumpkin purée, it’s easy to prepare at home using either an ice cream maker or a no-churn method, offering a rich and satisfying vegan treat that’s perfect for autumn.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup pumpkin purée
  • ⅓–½ cup maple syrup (to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Add-Ins

  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1–2 tbsp mini dairy-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Whisk together the coconut milk, pumpkin purée, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  2. Chill Mixture: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 1 to 2 hours to improve texture and help the ice cream churn properly.
  3. Churn Ice Cream: Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20 to 25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Add Mix-Ins: If using optional nuts or dairy-free chocolate chips, fold them gently into the churned ice cream now.
  5. Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours or until it firms up to your desired consistency.
  6. No-Churn Alternative: For a no-churn option, blend all ingredients until completely smooth. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, cover, and freeze for 4 to 6 hours. Stir every hour during the first 3 hours to reduce ice crystals and ensure a creamy texture.

Notes

  • For softer scoops, remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup for a smoother texture since additional sugar reduces iciness.
  • Try swirling in dairy-free caramel sauce for a decadent and delicious twist.
