All the Flavors of Pumpkin Pie in a Vegan, Paleo Ice Cream

Pumpkin ice cream on Hollinsbrook

We have a classic pumpkin ice cream recipe but we don’t want to leave out our paleo and vegan friends. This paleo pumpkin ice cream is perfect for the fall and winter holidays – or really anytime you have a pumpkin pie craving. It uses one of our favorite convenience products, canned pumpkin, so you can make it year round. You need an ice cream maker with at least a 1 ½ quart capacity. We use a Cuisinart ICE-100 Ice Cream and Gelato Maker in the Test Kitchen. We love ice cream makers with built-in compressors; making ice cream becomes incredibly easy. Make sure to read serving suggestions; letting your ice cream sit is crucial. And please excuse our varied images. We were playing with some Cambria quartz surfaces in the Test Kitchen.

Bakepedia Tips

  • Want to gild the lily? Serve with a drizzle of Dark Caramel Sauce – it won’t be vegan anymore, but it will be amazing.
  • You can increase the spices if you want a more highly spiced ice cream. The ratios as they are now allow the pumpkin flavor to come through.
