🥘Ingredients
All you need are the following ingredients for this delicious dessert:
- 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp maple extract (affiliate link)
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream (heavy cream)
- 1.5 cups pure pumpkin puree *Use real pumpkin (do NOT use pumpkin pie filling)
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
🔪Instructions
In a large bowl, beat whipping cream to stiff peaks.
Add pumpkin puree, maple extract, condensed milk, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and brown sugar to whipped cream.
Stir until combined.
Pour into a container (I like to use a 9X5 loaf container) but you could use any container.
Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 6-8 hours or overnight.
Break up the graham cracker crust into pieces and top ice cream with it.
You could also sprinkle on additional cinnamon.
📖Variations & Substitutions
- Pumpkin Puree - you can use fresh pumpkin purée or canned pumpkin puree
- Pie crust - you can use a store-bought graham cracker pie crust, a homemade pie crust, a gingersnap crust or a store-bought pie crust. You could use graham crackers as a substitute.
- Spices - you can use a pumpkin pie spice as a substitute for cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to give it that pumpkin pie flavor
- Maple Extract - maple extract (affiliate link) is available at most grocery stores in the baking aisle, but if you can't find it you or you simply prefer natural flavor, you can substitute 2 tablespoon of real maple syrup (reduce the condensed milk by 2 tablespoon in exchange) and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Dairy-free - use a dairy-free whipping topping (I use Nutriwhip because I know it freezes well) and dairy-free condensed milk
- WW Friendlier- if you are okay with using sugar-free ingredients, you can use sugar-free Cool Whip and make your own sugar-free condensed milk
- Pumpkin ice cream sandwich - Freeze this ice cream between 2 layers of graham crackers. I would recommend you use the same method as I do with my Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe
- Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie - if you want to make this into a pie instead, just fill a graham cracker pie shell and freeze for 8 hours.
🍽Equipment
You do NOT need an ice cream machine or any special equipment for this pumpkin ice cream recipe, but you do need an electric mixer. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
If you are making your own pumpkin puree, you'll need a food processor. I usually freeze my no churn ice cream in a loaf pan (metal or ceramic), covered with Glad press n' seal (affiliate links), then transfer leftovers into an airtight container. Alternatively, you could freeze it in a loaf pan with a lid (affiliate link).
🌡️Storage
Store this pumpkin spice ice cream in any type of airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. I use a Ziploc freezer bag to store the broken graham cracker crust.
This ice cream freezes really hard when it's been in the freezer for a couple of days or longer, so you'll want to leave it out at room temperature for about 10 minutes before scooping and serving.
