Ninja Creami Keto Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream

Recipe by Leah Robinson

Ingredients

🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🥥 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
🎃 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
🍚 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or keto-friendly sweetener
🍦 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🥄 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
🧂 1/4 teaspoon salt
🥚 2 egg yolks

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, almond milk, and pumpkin puree. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated erythritol, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and egg yolks until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the warm pumpkin mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs and prevent curdling.
Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into the Ninja Creami pint container, securing the lid tightly.
Freeze the pint for 24 hours.
After freezing, remove the container from the freezer and place it into the Ninja Creami machine. Select the “Ice Cream” function and let the machine work its magic.
If the texture isn’t creamy enough, you can run the “Ice Cream” function once more for a smoother consistency.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto pumpkin spice ice cream!

The Magic of Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkin spice isn’t just about pumpkins; it’s a blend of warm, comforting spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. These spices not only enhance the flavor but also bring a festive touch to any dish. In this ice cream, they complement the creamy base and pumpkin puree, creating a harmonious and delightful flavor profile.

Keto-Friendly Sweeteners

Choosing the right sweetener is crucial for keeping this ice cream keto-friendly. Erythritol is a popular choice because it has minimal impact on blood sugar levels and doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste. Other options include monk fruit sweetener or a stevia blend. Adjust the quantity according to your taste preference and the sweetness of the pumpkin puree you use.

Customizing Your Ice Cream

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! You can add a handful of chopped pecans for some crunch, a swirl of keto caramel sauce for extra indulgence, or even a sprinkle of additional pumpkin pie spice on top. The possibilities are endless, and you can tailor the ice cream to suit your taste.

Tips for Perfect Ice Cream

Chill thoroughly: Ensuring the mixture is completely chilled before freezing in the Ninja Creami is key to achieving the right texture.
Consistent stirring: When cooking the mixture, stir constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling and to achieve a smooth, thick base.
Taste and adjust: Before freezing, taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice level if needed.

Serving Suggestions

This pumpkin spice ice cream is delightful on its own, but here are a few ideas to elevate your dessert experience:

Serve in a keto-friendly waffle cone.
Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Pair with a warm keto brownie or pumpkin bread.
Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee for a pumpkin spice latte experience.
