It’s that time of year – pumpkin everything! This pumpkin ice cream recipe is the perfect cool treat when you’re feeling fall but aren’t quick ready to heat up the oven.

Pumpkin Ice Cream Recipe

Over the weekend we were ready to make a fall treat. After decorating the house with pumpkins, thinking about pumpkin baked goods, and doing a craft inspired by pumpkins, the girls and I were wanting a pumpkin dessert. Since the current state of fall in Florida means 90-degree heat, we opted for pumpkin ice cream instead of a baked good. Honestly, it was the best idea because ice cream is so easy to make and the girls just love it.

When I make ice cream, I always use the same ice cream base which I’ve actually shared here. This time I just added some brown sugar to the base as well as pumpkin spice seasoning and of course, pumpkin. I always keep my ice cream maker attachment in my freezer that way we’re ready to make ice cream any time. It’s great because we can make the ice cream in the afternoon and be ready to eat it after dinner.
