I love fall, but living in the South means that even though I want it to be fall and the calendar says it should be fall it’s still hot outside. Just because I can’t (or don’t want to) bake a pie doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy pumpkin pie as ice cream. Plus as an added bonus this recipe is fat-free!
Pumpkin pie ice cream is full of the flavors of fall: pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It truly tastes like eating the insides of pumpkin pie! I do believe it is my new favorite ice cream.
I have been using my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker for several years now and I love it! This ice cream maker consistently makes perfectly airy homemade ice cream in 20 minutes.
*updated 9/5/17 with new photos
- 2 cups of fat free half and half
- 1 cup of pumpkin
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Whisk all the ingredients together and then add to your ice cream machine. I let my ice cream machine run for 20 minutes before we enjoy our ice cream. Tip: Make sure to keep your cold ingredients in the fridge and your frozen ice cream insert in the freezer until you are ready to use.
- Note: The ice cream will hold it's shape better once you freeze it.
- I place my leftovers in a covered plastic container and freeze.

I agree!
I bet my husband would love this, He loves pumpkin pie and ice cream.
He would definitely love some 🙂
There are SO many pumpkin recipes I want to try right now. Now I have another one to add to my list! And if its skinny, does that mean I can eat triple what I’d normally eat? 😉
Yes Carrie of course! 🙂
Yum! I have really been sucked in with all of the pumpkin stuff. The season hasn’t even started yet!!!
Soon, fall starts Tuesday! 🙂
I so need to get an ice cream maker just for this recipe! YUMMY
Thanks Alexis, you won’t regret getting one!
I have that same ice cream maker and I love it. I will definitely try this recipe! Happy fall!
Isn’t it so easy to use? I love making ice cream with it.
This looks amazing! I never would have thought to make a pumpkin-flavored ice cream 🙂
It is so delicious!
Um, yum!!! Can’t wait to try this!
Thank Erica, enjoy!
Never thought of ice cream recipes for fall but if it’s Pumpkin Spice, I’m game! #learntoblog
It’s so yummy!
This looks super yummy! I have an attachment for my stand mixer that is supposed to make great ice cream but its a bit tough to use. I am going to look into the Cuisanart one! Pinning!
The Cuisanart one is so easy, you really just mix your ingredients and dump them into the ice cream maker.
Looks yummy! I love pumpkins and the ice cream looks great!
Perfect combination! Thanks Zan!
I love pumpkin ice cream for fall! Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Amy!
I’ve been seeing so many posts lately about making your own ice cream and I am totally toying with the idea of getting an ice cream maker! I love as it turns to fall we start cooking with pumpkin so I’m definitely going to pin this for later! And your pics look great 🙂
Thank you Amy! You definitely need an ice cream maker! It is so easy and fun to make your own.
Sold! I live in Southern California so our Fall weather can be rather warm and there are many heat waves typically that roll through in September and October so putting the oven on is just not an option. Pinning this and making this next weekend 🙂
Great Jill! I hope you enjoy as much as I did!
This looks so delish! I’m so excited that FALL is here just so I can enjoy anything Pumpkin!! I’m going to have to give this a try! Great post 🙂

Thank you Joanne!
I spent most of my life in the south so I know what you mean about fall not really feeling like fall. Now I am in the north and get to experience all 4 seasons. I love pumpkin ice cream. I don’t have an ice cream maker or churner so I have to make mine a little different. I would love it if you came by The Yuck Stops Here link party and shared this with my readers. We pin and share everywhere!
