Why you’ll love this recipe

• Festive, comforting flavor — pumpkin and warm spices make this taste like fall in every bite.
• Quick and simple — a blender and the Ninja Creami do most of the work.
• Low calorie — a lighter dessert option that still feels indulgent.

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree — use pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
• 1 cup Fairlife milk (1% or 2%) — high-protein, low-fat milk works well; any dairy milk will do.
• 1 tablespoon monk fruit/erythritol sweetener — or your preferred sweetener to taste.
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon — use ground cinnamon (not cinnamon sugar) for best results.
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract — vanilla bean paste also works for extra depth.

Tips & Tricks

Plan ahead: the ice cream base must freeze solid for 18–24 hours before processing in the Ninja Creami. Freeze the pint upright on a flat surface to ensure an even freeze.

Tools

• Ninja Blender or any blender or jar for mixing the base.
• Ninja Creami or similar single-serve ice cream machine that processes frozen pints.

How to make Ninja Creami Pumpkin Ice Cream

1. Add all ingredients to a blender or a jar. Blend or shake until smooth and well combined.
2. Pour the mixture into a Ninja Creami pint container, secure the lid, and freeze upright on a flat surface for 18–24 hours.
3. Once fully frozen, remove the lid and place the pint into the Ninja Creami pint holder.
4. Attach the Creami blade in the lid, lock the assembly into the machine, and select the Ice Cream or Soft Serve program.
5. If the resulting texture is crumbly or powdery, use the “respin” function. If it remains dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk and respin until creamy.
6. Remove the pint and serve immediately, or store in the freezer with the lid on.

Substitutions

If you don’t have Fairlife milk, any dairy milk can be used. For non-dairy milks, consider adding a small amount of gelatin, collagen, or another stabilizer to help achieve a creamier texture after churning.

How to store

• Store ice cream pints upright in the freezer with the lid on. Properly sealed, they keep well for 3–6 months.
• If you scoop and return leftovers to the pint, smooth the surface into an even layer before freezing. When ready to serve again, re-spin in the Ninja Creami to restore creaminess.
