This 4-ingredient Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream brings you the flavors of fall. This dairy-free ice cream requires no ice cream machine, so it is easy to whip up and toss in the freezer!

The key to the best dairy-free ice cream is frozen bananas! They give it a creamy, ice cream-like consistency that not only tastes great but is guilt-free, too. Add a little pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, maple syrup, and voilà! Pumpkin pie ice cream. If that isn’t a fall flavor, then I don’t know what is.

For equipment, use your food processor or blender—no ice cream maker is required. You only need something to whip it up quickly, and either a food processor or blender is the perfect accessory.

Can I Double this Ice Cream Recipe?

Of course! You are welcome to make as much as you would like. Just ensure you have room in your blender or food processor. You can also batch-make it, pour it into containers, and toss it in the freezer.

How Long Will It Store in the Freezer?

If you store the ice cream properly, it can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Just scoop and enjoy. We eat ours rather fast, so it has never lasted that long. But this is also a small-batch dessert, so I normally only make what we will eat at the time.

Why Use Frozen Bananas?

You need to have your bananas frozen, or you won’t get that creamy ice cream texture. If you use ripe, fresh bananas that are room temperature, it will be mushy instead of creamy, as you want. So don’t skip the time to toss those bananas in the freezer.

I like to slice and freeze any bananas that are close to becoming overripe. Then, when I get a craving for something sweet, I can whip up this ice cream in a hurry.

What Can I Use Instead of Maple Syrup?

If you don’t want to use maple syrup, you could use honey or even agave liquid. This will help add sweetness to your ice cream recipe. Feel free to play around with the amount of agave you need in terms of sweetness if you want to replace the maple syrup.
