This pumpkin ice cream recipe uses only a handful of ingredients, making it a great option when you need to silence your sweet tooth!

• Heavy whipping cream because it has the highest fat content and makes for creamy ice cream.
• Unsweetened pumpkin puree: It’s key that you choose pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling, which is loaded with sugar.
• Granulated sugar substitute: A must in order to keep it low in carbs.
• Vanilla extract: Heightens the flavor of the pumpkin.
• Pumpkin spices: cinnamon powder, ginger powder, nutmeg powder, or your favorite pumpkin pie spice blend.
• 2-quart ice cream machine or metal pan 10-inch pan

How To Make Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream

To make this pumpkin keto ice cream recipe, you’ll start by combining the pumpkin puree, the heavy cream, sugar substitute, water, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, nutmeg powder, salt, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisking well.

If using an ice cream maker, pour the pumpkin ice cream mixture into the ice cream maker and process the ice cream according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

My machine took about 25 minutes to process until the ice cream was ready, but this will depend on the kind of ice cream maker you have.

Store any leftovers in a well-covered, airtight container. You will need to allow the ice cream to melt on the kitchen counter until it’s scoopable.

No-Churn Keto Pumpin Spice Ice Cream Instructions

To make a no-churn pumpkin spice ice cream, once the ice cream mixture is ready, pour it into a metal pan or pans, depending on what you have.

Then, place the ice cream in the freezer for about an hour. Then, at the one-hour mark, remove the ice cream from the freezer and stir the ice cream.

Then, place it back in the freezer. You will repeat this step two more times for a total of three hours. The no-churn ice cream is now ready to scoop and enjoy.

How To Store Homemade Ice Cream

Store your homemade keto pumpkin ice cream in an airtight container in the freezer. These reusable ice cream containers are made specifically for ice cream.

Add a piece of wax paper or parchment paper to the top of the ice cream; this will help prevent too many ice crystals from forming. I recommend you store it for up to three weeks for the best flavor.

Best Sugar Substitutes For Sugar-Free Pumpkin Ice Cream

When it comes to choosing which sugar substitute to use for this delicious pumpkin ice cream, I have several options you can choose from.

My first recommendation is Lakanto Monk Fruit because the texture is spot on and there is barely any aftertaste.

It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend. I can’t keep enough of this stuff stocked in my pantry because it really behaves like sugar in my book. 

It gets its sweetness from antioxidants called mogrosides instead of fructose or sucrose. This is why it’s a great all-natural sugar substitute. Plus, it has zero calories and a zero glycemic index.

With that being said, I’m also partial to Swerve, an erythritol blend. Unlike other natural sweeteners like stevia, it has no bitter aftertaste and measures like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

It also has a 0% impact on blood sugar. You could also use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure for this no-bake cheesecake if you’re a fan of stevia.

This is the only stevia brand I would consider because I find all others to have an intense aftertaste that I can’t get past.  But if using Pyure, you will want to use 1/2 the amount called for. It’s a much sweeter option.

You can also use Splenda, with great success if you have trouble sourcing a more natural alternative.
