Thanks to everyone’s help with my Spam issue yesterday. The feedback and conversations I get to have on all of my favorite blogs is, to me, one of the best aspects of blogging.
It is getting pretty cold here in Portland. You’d think I would not want cold food, right? Well. When I found some dairy free egg nog (what??) the other day, I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it.
I am so happy I did. This is some of the most delicious ice cream I have ever had! Right on up there with Chubby Hubby (you cannot go wrong with chocolate covered, peanut butter filled pretzels inside ice cream!) and Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter (am I being redundant?).
Point being, this is good. So Very Good.
pumpkin ice cream
2 cups Silk nog
1 cup coconut milk (full fat canned)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons vanilla
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Blend the Nog, milk and tapioca flour in high powered blender until fluffy (by hand or with the whisk attachment on your stand mixer). Combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla and spices; fold into milk mixture. Prepare according to ice cream maker instructions.
This is pumpkin sweet cream. The Nog makes it incredibly rich and the maple syrup and cinnamon lend a warm sweetness. Incredible.
I hope everyone wants pumpkin ice cream for Thanksgiving – it’s whats for dinner dessert!
Do you only eat ice cream in the warm months, or are you a year ’round fan?
What interesting flavor would you like to see me make into an ice cream?

Pumpkin ice cream is one of my favorites – especially this time of year. Looks delicious!
thank you!! I’ve never had it, as far as I can recall… I think it turned out pretty tasty!
i can’t eat ice cream when its cold, I am a wuss! well, unless its a hot fudge sundae. hehe!
Mmm, hot fudge sundae…
I thought I was crazy for getting this at the end of September, but… turns out I use it a lot!! I’m not even a big ice cream person… but I love to create it and then I share!!
Well hello – yum. I love the silk nog. I used it the other day to make a pumpkin cocktail
it’s pretty awesome stuff!! I think it MADE this ice cream!!
This looks amazing! I am a fan of ice cream year round
It has been weirdly warm the past few days. I decided to walk to school yesterday so of course I threw on my coat (it was 7am!) and I ended up being boiling all the way there. Maybe I’m just getting acclimated?
completely warm!! crazy, right?? that’s Oregon for ya. it’ll be snowing tomorrow. (um… no, please!!)
I can eat ice cream all year too. Its a nice little comfort food when I’m in my toasty apartment.
Can you explain what makes tapioca flour special? I’ve never heard of it!
it’s kinda sweet (and gluten free!) so I use it in sweet food a lot… in this case I used it as a thickener.
What an awesome idea pumpkin ice cream is! I absolutely love your blog and am now a new follower. Have a fabulous day!
xo
Hi Erica !! thank you for reading ! hope you have a fabulous day also!!
Wow that look unbelievable! For work, we had a conference in Columbus, OH, and ask a thank you the host committee sent us a ton of different local ice creams – including Pumpkin Harvest. It was unreal!!
thank you!!
and wow, that’s awesome! 
what a great way to support local ice cream… and ice cream in general !! 
That looks out of this world. I feel the urge to run out and buy an ice cream maker. Never would have thought of pumpkin ice cream mmmmmm.
glad to be of help!! I got mine just a couple months ago, at the end of September… on a HUGE sale!! I bet this is still a great time to find one on sale…
Mmm, this looks perfect! Especially since it will still be in the 80′s here for Thanksgiving. Nice way to enjoy fall flavors while staying cool!
wow… I cannot imagine an 80 degree Thanksgiving… you should DEFINITELY make this!!
looks delish! i, too, am an all-year-’round-any-time-of-day ice cream lover. but i don’t have an ice cream maker :’(
thank you !! I never thought I’d get one (too many appliances…) but I found this one at the end of summer at a Sur La Table sale – like 50% off!! I am having so much fun making ice cream…
I love ice cream any time of year and any time of day
I need an ice cream maker badly!!!
you should look right now!! I found mine at the end of summer, on a REALLY good sale!! I bet you still can…
That looks AMAZING! Chubby Hubby and Tillamook Choco Peanut Butter are my total favs for ice cream!! I am not a big ice cream fan but those two are the BOMB! Yummo.
ah, ice cream flavor twins! I knew I <3 you…
I'm not a huge ice cream person either, I just like making awesome flavors!!
I saw eggnog ice cream and pumpkin ice cream in the store. I was so tempted to try it! I wish I could try it in a small container in case I don’t like it….
I cannot imagine you wouldn’t… but with the little tiny cup size ones they don’t have pumpkin? I’d keep looking, I bet they do soon…
Yum! I wish I had an ice cream maker– I can eat it throughout the year. I saw the Silk nog in the store the other day and was curious about it, but haven’t tried it yet.
it was PERFECT for this… I think the nog made it so rich and OH MY STARS awesome
mmmm. love seasonal flavors!
ME TOO !! <3 having fun over here!!
My husband LOVES pumpkin flavored stuff. I love the idea of using eggnog. Talk about rich! Yum.
MAKE THIS FOR HIM !!
Ice cream is never something I eat regularly. But at the same time, if I crave it, I’ll go to Baskin Robbin’s in the middle of January for it! The weather doesn’t bother me…
I don’t crave it either… I just love to make it!!
keeping my friends & family happy!
Oh hello deliciousness!
it IS!!
thanks!!
No way! And here I’ve mentioned DISliking soy nog in my post today—I can only imagine that Silk’s nog is better than Soy Nice’s nog… and that maybe it is all together better to serve it in pumpkin ice cream!
I’ve wanted an ice cream maker addition for my KitchenAid for 3 years… I’m imagining a matcha frozen yogurt, so that it’s got the tartness of the fro yo and the depth of the matcha, and NOT TOO SWEET because I control sugar—can you imagine a dairy-free way of meeting those criteria?
CRAZY !! I made matcha cupcakes today!! that is awesome… and I actually have this on my List Of Things To Make… so now I HAVE to do this!! for YOU !!
That ice cream looks amazing!
Thanks Mo!! It is…
OK clearly I need to find you and break your ice cream maker. You’re driving me nuts with these delectable visuals. Samples please?
Here are some cool flavor ideas I’d love for you to try:
-Earl Grey ice cream
-Cadbury Creme Egg ice cream
-Chocolate Apricot ice cream
-Gummy Bear ice cream
okay Joslyn !!! I LOVE this list, thank you!! I will see what I can do…
and gummi bear… ah, you know Just Where To Get Me, don’t you??? 
<3 <3
I found you in spam but you are not out
Hopefully it won’t happen again.
I don’t think I’ve seen the brand Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter, where do you buy yours, just curious?
I think owning an ice cream maker is very dangerous, I’ll have ice cream every day
I’ll just enjoy your creation from my computer screen, lol!
Tillamook is an Oregon creamery… (mmm, the best cheese and ice cream…) so I don’t know how far distribution goes… it’s all over here, in Oregon.
It really is the best ice cream on the planet.
STOP. Pump the breaks, you are seriously rocking my world here. I love ice cream, yogurt, froyo, whateveryo, omg this is brilliant recipe! Basil is soooo lucky!
Basil gets NONE !!
well, we may let him lick bowls. <3 I love your enthusiasm – I want to come visit and cook for you!
my ice cream intake is definitely not dependent on the weather. i’m not sure about interesting flavors though, what about….chai??
oh yes… chai. that would ROCK. perhaps I should try chai while I still have some of this nog…
Oh man this looks amazing. I frickin LOVE soy nog (can’t find it here in Oz… waaaaah!) Bookmarking for when I’m back in Canada!
Oh, and I eat ice cream all year round. I prefer fruity ones to chocolate, although chocolate-mint and chocolate-peanut-butter (anything) are way up there too!!
I recently had gelato for the VERY FIRST time ever… I cannot believe how good it was – I love the fruit flavors.
sorry you have no access to nog right now… but… you are IN AUSTRALIA !!
that makes up for it…
Never tried pumpkin ice cream. I absolutely have to try this recipe of yours!
Sadly I’m not a cold season ice cream eater, but a pumpkin one could be perfectly fitting for this season!
One flavor? Chocolate of course!
yes, great seasonal flavor… I’m making this again for Thanksgiving next week…
Yum, this looks so good! I love pumpkin ice cream, J makes it for us in his ice cream maker. I prefer it w/ fresh puree, versus the canned. We’ll have to try this vegan version one day! Thanks for sharing it with Friday Firsts!
once again, Christina, thanks for Friday Firsts!!
I’d love to make this with fresh puree…
Oh, I would LOVE this!!!! Incredible!
Mary xo
Delightful Bitefuls
I NEED to buy an ice cream maker, stat.
I’m definitely an all-year-round ice cream eater. Not even a blizzard would stop me from getting the stuff
Pearl, that is good to hear!! I am the same way, while I don’t necessarily CRAVE ice cream, I definitely don’t need warm weather to enjoy it!
i can’t wait to make this. i’ve got a question though, did you use canned coconut milk or the kind in the carton, like by so delicious? it looks amazing!
hi Rachel! I used the So Delicious milk – I I have made ice creams with canned coconut milk also, so I’m sure either would work in this case. and Thank You – I hope you love it!
I made this today – ohmysogood!!
so glad you liked!
*reminds me… I need to make more soon too…
Three TABLESPOONS of vanilla? Is that a typo? Because that seems really excessive. Most ice cream recipes that contain about 3-4 c. of liquid call for 1-2 TEASPOONS.
hi LH,
feel free to use less vanilla if you prefer, or another recipe.
I have made this recipe five or more times, and it works for me.
