- Pumpkin Puree: Ah, pumpkin puree, the star of the show. This is where we get that quintessential fall color and flavor. It’s like capturing autumn in a scoop.

What is NO Churn Ice cream?
Alright, let’s break it down – no-churn ice cream is pretty straightforward. It’s all about two key players: whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk.
- The cream brings that airy, fluffy texture to the game, while the sweetened condensed milk adds a touch of sweetness and helps prevent ice crystals from forming, resulting in a creamy, scoopable ice cream.
- Now, what’s great about this no-churn deal is that it’s perfect for home cooks. There’s no need for fancy equipment, and you can get as creative as you want with flavors and mix-ins. It’s a simple and delicious way to make your own ice cream at home, no fuss, no muss. It’s like being the Willy Wonka of your kitchen but with ice cream.
How to Make No Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream
- Combine a can of condensed sweetened milk with heavy cream and mix with a mixer.
- Toss in some packaged pudding mix, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg, and then pour in that canned pumpkin puree.
- Give it all a solid mix.
- Now, don’t panic if it seems a bit loose right now. This concoction is on its way to becoming a lusciously creamy delight once it hits the freezer.
The Pudding Mix Secret:
This recipe works like a charm, and here’s why: that cheesecake pudding mix is the unsung hero. It steps up and does a couple of important jobs:
- Flavor Enhancement: it brings a velvety cheesecake flavor to the pumpkin ice cream party.
- Texture Improvement: With its thickening properties, the pudding mix contributes to a smoother and creamier texture in the finished ice cream, ensuring a satisfying, velvety mouthfeel.
- Ice Crystal Control: By preventing the formation of ice crystals, the pudding mix maintains the ice cream’s consistency, preventing it from becoming overly icy and preserving its creamy goodness.
Can’t Get Enough Pumpkin?
- Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls – Quick and Easy: These pumpkin cinnamon rolls are a breeze to make, thanks to pre-made canned Pillsbury dough.
- Pumpkin Spiced Pretzels: Irresistible Crunch: Pumpkin spiced pretzels offer a satisfying crunch with a hint of warm pumpkin spice.
