    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Steps by step instructions

    How to make the keto pumpkin ice cream in the ninja creami?

    STEP 1: In a blender add all the ingredients except the heavy whipping cream. Blend for 30 seconds then pour the ice cream mixture into the ninja creami pint, place the lid on and freeze for 24 hours.

    adding the pumpkin puree to the blender cup.

    STEP 2: after 24 hours you can remove the pint from the freezer and place it into the ninja creami outer bowl with the lid on and lock into the ninja creami machine. Select the Ice Cream button.

    If ice cream is not creamy enough, create a hole in the center and add about an ounce of heavy whipping cream. Place it back into the machine and select Mix-In.

    pouring heavy cream into the centre of the ice cream in the creami pint.

    STEP 3: Scoop out ice cream into your favorite bowl and serve with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice on top.

    How to make the keto pumpkin ice cream without the the ninja creami?

    Ice cream machines do make it easier but you can also make this keto pumpkin spice recipe without one.

    • STEP 1: add all the ingredients except the heavy whipping cream in a blender and mix for about 30 seconds.

    STEP 2: Pour the ice cream mixture into a glass Tupperware container with a lid. Place in the freezer and scrape the ice cream with a fork every hour for the first 4 hours. Allow to sit in the freezer overnight.

    STEP 3: when ready to serve remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow it to slightly thaw, this will help make it easier to scoop out.

    Pro Tip: for a less icy mixture add an ounce of vodka to the ice cream mixture before blending.

    Recipe tips

    Top Tip: consistency of the ice cream may also be affected by your freezer temperature. It may turn out perfect after the first mix or may need to be adjusted with heavy cream one or two times. Results may vary but a little heavy cream will easily get it to the creamy ice cream texture.

    • Set in the freezer: freeze for at least 24 hours, it needs to be at a very cold temperature before it can be processed in the ninja ice cream machine.
    • Serving: this ice cream is great served on it's own with a nice warm pumpkin spice coffee or tea. You can also serve it on the side with these Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Waffles.
    • Storage: store the keto pumpkin ice cream in the ninja pint container, make sure you level out the top of the ice cream before freezing. This is required before spinning it again in the Ninja Creami machine. If not using the ninja creami, store the ice cream in an airtight container.

    Recipe variations

    Pumpkin spice flavors are great with a variety of different ingredients, here are a few that we enjoy:

    • Chocolate - mix in some low carb or sugar free chocolate chips for a delicious chocolaty flavor.
    • Caramel - pumpkin spice and caramel go great together. Use this Low Carb Caramel recipe to add a drizzle on top of the ice cream.
    • Cinnamon - if you love the taste of cinnamon, add a ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon to the ice cream mixture before blending.

    Equipment used to make this recipe

    The Ninja Creami is an amazing ice cream maker that makes ice cream, sorbet, sherbert and milkshakes. It's a new toy for me and it has my creative juices flowing with endless ninja cream recipe ideas.

    Frequently asked questions

    What makes this pumpkin ice cream keto?

    This recipe does not use any sugar and is only 2g net carbs per serving. Therefore it would likely fit into keto daily macros depending on what else was consumed before and after. It also fits into a low carb and diabetic friendly diet.

        Delicious! What a wonderful ice cream treat for fall. I’ll mix in chocolate chips just since chocolate with pumpkin is a flavor combination we love. Thanks for suggesting it.
