Pumpkin pie ice cream is a delicious fall treat that tastes just like pumpkin pie. This easy homemade ice cream is made with milk, cream, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. You’ll love it!

Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream in tart shells with white pumpkins in the background.

This homemade ice cream tastes just like pumpkin pie, with warm, cozy spices that make it perfect for cooler days and crisp fall nights. It’s made by adding pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice to an egg-free ice cream base, which keeps things simple while still delivering big, comforting flavor. It has all the flavors you love, wrapped up in a creamy, scoopable dessert.

After the ice cream is churned, I stir in pieces of flaky pie crust, so every scoop has little bites that taste just like the best part of pumpkin pie. I make this ice cream all autumn long, but it’s especially fun to serve for Thanksgiving or around Halloween. If you’re a pumpkin pie fan, this one’s a guaranteed hit.

How to serve homemade pumpkin ice cream

This ice cream is so delicious that no one is going to judge if you eat it straight from the container. But there are more fun ways to serve it!

  • Bake store-bought tart shells and scoop the pumpkin ice cream into them once they’re cool.
  • In pretty bowls with cookie crumbles or crumbled pie crust on top.
  • Drizzled with a little caramel sauce.
  • In a waffle cone dusted with cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups whipping cream
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 store-bought pie crust (optional)

Instructions 

  • Gently warm the milk over medium heat in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. When it starts to steam, remove the pot from the heat. Whisk the brown sugar into the milk until it dissolves.
    1 ½ cups whole milk, ¾ cup brown sugar
  • Add the rest of the ingredients into the pot and stir well.
    ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 ½ cups whipping cream, 1 cup pumpkin puree, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • Put the pot into your fridge until it is cold.
  • If using the optional pie crust, bake it first then let it cool completely. Break it into bite-sized pieces and reserve a handful to sprinkle on top of the ice cream.
    1 store-bought pie crust
  • Pour the ice cream into your ice cream maker and let it churn until it is soft-set – usually about 20 minutes. Add the pie crust pieces to your ice cream maker and let them get mixed into the ice cream. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-proof container, sprinkle the reserved handful of pie crust pieces over the top, and freeze for at least 2 hours.

Is the total amount of sugar for the recipe ¾ cup brown sugar?

¾ cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of maple syrup is what sweetens the ice cream. 🙂

Love that this is refined sugar free as I am trying to cut down on white sugar. Never tried pumpkin pie ice cream before today and it was so good. Excited to make this again this autumn.
