Ingredients

Ice Cream Base

10 Ounces Unsweetened Almond Milk Fluid Ounces
1 Scoop Unflavored Whey Protein Powder 33.6 Grams
3 Tablespoons Swerve Sugar Substitute Granulated-Allulose Blend
½ Cup Pumpkin Puree
1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
⅛ Teaspoon Guar Gum

1-2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Almond Milk

Instructions

Make the Ice Cream Mixture

Pour the unsweetened almond milk, protein powder, sugar substitute, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice into a small blender and blend until all ingredients are fully combined. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container.
Freeze on a level surface for 24 hours. Your freezer should be between 9 and -7 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid getting a bump on the top of the frozen mixture, freeze with the lid off of the container.

Process the Ice Cream

After 24 hours, remove the pint container from the freezer.
Place the pint container into the outer bowl of the Ninja Creami and then process on "LITE ICE CREAM."
If the ice cream is dry or crumbly looking, pour in a tablespoon or two of unsweetened almond milk and then re-spin. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times.
Remove the pint from the machine and enjoy!

Notes

Instead of using the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar, can canned pumpkin pie filling be used?

Yes! You can use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of using the individual ingredients in the base recipe. Keep in mind that the canned pumpkin pie filling has other ingredients and can have a lot of sugar in it. The nutritional information will change based on what filling you use.

Can mix-ins be added to this recipe?

Yes! You can add in chocolate chips, graham crackers, cookies, cooked pie crust, or just about anything that goes well with pumpkin. You could even get a little festive and fill a baked pie crust with the pumpkin ice cream and top with whipped cream! Now you've got a pumpkin ice cream pie!
