Ingredients Needed
Pumpkin Puree: Pumpkin puree serves as the foundation for the pumpkin pie flavor in this recipe. It provides the natural sweetness, earthy taste, and vibrant orange color characteristic of pumpkin.
Coconut Milk: Coconut milk adds a creamy texture and a touch of tropical flavor to the ice cream. It provides a rich and indulgent base for the pumpkin pie flavor. Coconut milk also helps to create a smooth and velvety texture.
Vanilla Protein Powder: Protein powder plays a crucial role in this recipe by adding a significant amount of protein to the ice cream. This not only makes it a more filling and satisfying dessert but also contributes to a healthier overall nutritional profile. Protein powder also helps to thicken the ice cream mixture, ensuring a creamy and dense texture. My favorite protein powder is Truvani because it has great ingredients!
Pumpkin Spice: Pumpkin spice is a blend of spices commonly used in pumpkin-flavored desserts. It typically includes cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. In this recipe, pumpkin spice adds a warm, aromatic, and slightly spicy flavor to the ice cream.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the ice cream by providing a warm and comforting aroma and taste.
Coconut Sugar: Coconut sugar is used in this recipe as a natural sweetener alternative to refined white sugar. It provides a subtle caramel flavor and a lower glycemic index than traditional sugar, making it a healthier option.
Graham Crackers: Graham crackers add crunch and texture to this recipe. I actually used Simple Mills Sweet Thins here!
