Two of my favorite things are ice cream and pumpkin! This fall I decided that I needed to find a way to combine these two things to make my own homemade pumpkin ice cream. All summer long I worked to perfect the perfect vanilla ice cream recipe so I figured it was now time to try making pumpkin ice cream! Since it’s still warm outside, I decided that instead of pumpkin pie, I’d still to ice cream recipes for dessert!
When I was in college I remember going with my friends every fall to get the seasonal Pumpkin Milkshakes at Burgerville. I can still taste and smell those delicious milk shakes! When I decided to make my own pumpkin ice cream from scratch, I knew that I wanted the ice cream to bring back these memories!
Jump to RecipeI love using my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker to make ice cream. There’s something about homemade ice cream that just tastes so much better than store bought ice cream. Growing up I remember making peach ice cream with my parents so I love being able to share this tradition with my daughter!
How To Make My Homemade Pumpkin Ice Cream
For this homemade pumpkin ice cream recipe, I decided to use the Farmer’s Market Organic Pumpkin Pie Mix. I love using this canned pumpkin in pumpkin pie so I knew that it’s flavor would make the ice cream taste like pumpkin pie. Since the canned pumpkin already had some spice too it, I only added 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice to the recipe. You could certainly add more if you want more spice mix.
I hope that you will give this homemade pumpkin ice cream recipe a try! This has quickly become a family favorite fall pumpkin dessert.

Thank you for taking your time to leave a review! This is a super easy to make dessert and tastes so good too!
I don’t have an ice cream maker, but I’ll still try it without one. I expect it will freeze anyway in the freezer.
I have not tried making this without an ice cream maker. You’ll have to let me know how it turns out! I would recommend mixing it with a mixer so it does get well mixed before freezing!
