Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream

This Ninja Creami Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream is every part you like about fall in a single creamy, dreamy, high-protein pint. It tastes like pumpkin pie filling spun into ice cream, nevertheless it’s secretly a protein shake in disguise! Vegan, full of protein, and endlessly customizable along with your favourite toppings. No Ninja Creami? No downside, I’ve included a blender possibility too.

I’ve shared a bunch of Ninja Creami recipes already (like my Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies and Cream), however this one could be my favourite fall taste but. It is silky, spiced, and comfy, principally pumpkin pie in frozen kind. I really like scooping it straight from the pint for a high-protein snack, or dressing it up with vegan whipped cream, crushed cookies (for pie crust vibes), or a drizzle of maple syrup for a holiday-worthy dessert. It tastes similar to my well-known pumpkin pie recipe, however in ice cream kind.

Ingredients for pumpkin pie protein ice cream.

Substances for Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream

Pumpkin purée: Make certain it is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling for one of the best taste and texture.
Vegan vanilla protein powder: I like Good Protein, Orgain, or Vega Sport.
Maple syrup (or sweetener of alternative): Sugar-free syrups work too. I’ve even tried sugar-free salted caramel syrup and beloved it.
Pumpkin pie spice: store-bought or homemade.
Xanthan gum (elective): Makes the feel silky easy. If you happen to’re planning to make Creamis typically, I like to recommend picking up a bag; it is cheap and lasts perpetually.

Optionally available toppings: Vegan whipped cream, mini marshmallows, crushed cookies, chopped pecans, granola, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Ideas and Variations

Alter the sweetener as wanted: Some protein powders are sweeter than others! I like to recommend tasting the bottom after mixing it to see if it wants a bit of further maple syrup or agave. You need the bottom to be fairly candy as a result of after freezing, sweetness dulls a bit (I all the time make mine style a contact sweeter than I feel it wants)
Make it and not using a Ninja Creami: If you do not have a Ninja Creami, observe the directions right here: How to Make Ice Cream in a Blender.
Swap out the pumpkin: You should utilize mashed candy potato on this recipe as a substitute of pumpkin for sweet potato pie vibes.
