Healthy Natural Homemade Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Hey y'all!  So, I think we've already established that I LOVE Fall.  With Fall, comes my favorite treats.  Pumpkin spice and pumpkin pie flavored EVERYTHING!!!  Yeah.  I'm THAT person. LOL!  The only problem I find, when it comes to those delectable treats, is that they are rarely endo diet friendly.  Luckily, I can help with at least one sweet treat.  If it's Fall in your house, then you most likely already have these ingredients in your pantry.  I keep pumpkin puree in my pantry all year because of its health benefits.  It's just SO SO good for you!  Enough jibber jabber, though.  Lets get to the CREAMY, SMOOTH, and OH SO SWEET recipe!




Homemade Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

(Endo Diet Friendly!!!)




Ingredients:
1 can of Pumpkin Puree
2 just over ripe bananas
1/3 cup of Organic raw and unfiltered Honey
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice (or to taste.  I added more because I like a stronger flavor)
2 tsp Allspice (or to taste.  Again, I added more)
Almond milk (or your non dairy non soy milk of choice)


Directions:
In a blender, blend together pumpkin puree, bananas, honey, and spices.  Taste test to see if you need to add more spices or not.  I added more because I like a strong pumpkin pie taste.

When it gets to your desired taste, pour into a freezer safe tupperware bowl with a lid and freeze 6-8 hours or over night.

When ready to serve, you can either take it out for 30 minutes to let thaw a bit, or heat a sharp ice cream scoop under hot water and scoop out desired about into your blender.  The pumpkin mix will be pretty hard.  This is where the almond milk comes in to turn it into creamy smooth heaven.

Add the almond milk a cup at a time, blend, and keep scraping down the sides.  Add until you reach your desired thickness.  Then spoon out into a cup or bowl and enjoy!!




I was in shock at how delicious and creamy this turned out to be.  It tasted JUST how I wanted and satisfied my pumpkin pie sweet tooth.  I hope y'all enjoy this recipe as much as my 2 year old and I do.  It's so amazingly good.  The perfect cold Fall treat!

Stay safe and God Bless,
Ashley Brooke
