Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at refrigerator temperature to help with smooth blending.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, whisking thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent base.
- Add maple syrup to the mixture, stirring until completely integrated and creating a uniform sweetness throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract, carefully folding these ingredients to distribute evenly and enhance the flavor profile.
- Transfer the entire mixture to a high-powered blender and blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into a freezer-safe container, ensuring it's sealed tightly to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- Place the container in the freezer and allow to chill for approximately 3-4 hours, stirring every hour to break up ice crystals and maintain a creamy texture.
- Before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop into serving dishes and optionally garnish with a sprinkle of additional pumpkin pie spice or chopped nuts.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are chilled before blending to achieve a smoother, more consistent texture.
- Blend Like a Pro: Use a high-powered blender and blend for the full 2-3 minutes to create an ultra-smooth and creamy base.
- Freezing Technique: Stir the ice cream every hour during freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming and maintain a silky texture.
- Softening Secrets: Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect scoopable consistency.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Enhance your dessert with a sprinkle of chopped nuts, a dash of extra pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of maple syrup for added excitement.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness.
