Woot! It’s pumpkin season! Which also makes it pumpkin pie ice cream season too. Doesn’t everyone love ice cream this time of year? I’ll happily bundle up with a warm blanket and a dish of creamy ice cream any day.
Before I get to the ice cream recipe, I’m excited to share some fun and innovative cooking toys that are perfect for fall!
I should probably start with the first new find, which is the Ninja Creami. It is an amazing machine, and different from all of the other ice cream makers out there. Instead of freezing the ice cream as it churns, you mix together the ice cream ingredients in their special pint container, attach the lid, and freeze it for 24 hours. It comes with a couple of containers, so if you plan ahead you’ll always have ice cream at the ready. I’m so in love with this machine that I ordered extra containers.
Once your base has been frozen for 24 hours, you attach it to the CREAMi machine, push the button, and using speed and pressure, the machine shaves the frozen mixture into some of the creamiest ice cream I’ve tried. Seriously, it’s amazing! It’s so good that my husband prefers it now over his usual Ben and Jerry’s. Just saying. And there’s a button for mix-ins too, so if cookie or caramel swirls are your jam, you’re going to love it too. You can find it on Amazon here.
The next super innovative appliance is the Multo by Cooking Pal. This appliance is the future of cooking. This all-in-one smart kitchen machine preps, cooks and cleans. Rather than having 10 separate appliances that only have a single function, this machine that has 20+ functions that replaces them all. It preps and cuts your ingredients (and weighs them too!), heats, cooks, purees and then washes itself. It can make bread dough, cake batters, cook pasta, make gravy, soups, and sauces, and even steam meatballs while it’s cooking your sauce. It comes with a smart tablet too that is filled with over 100 guided recipes (and includes gluten-free and plant-based recipes).
I have been putting this beast (it is a very powerful machine!) through the paces, and it blows me away every time. The first thing I tried was blending raw unsoaked cashews and water. There wasn’t a trace of cashews left, and made a beautiful, creamy rich cashew milk. It may be even more powerful than my Vitamix, and that’s saying a lot. I’m thinking that the Multo could definitely cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner.
If you want to check out the Multo, they have given me a discount code for my readers and viewers can save $80. You can find the Multo here on the Cooking Pal Website. Use discount code JULIEHASSON at checkout.
And finally, the last must have is Zip Top reusable silicone stand up cups, bags, and dishes. You will want to freeze all of your fabulous Fall soups, stews, baked goods, and homemade ice cream in these! They come in super-cute colors (hello teal blue!), and are made in the US out of food-grade platinum silicone. They are also freezer, microwave, and dishwasher safe. If you’re ready to ditch the plastic bags, this is just the ticket!
I also have a discount code for the Zip Top bags for 15% off. Use discount code JULIEHASSON at checkout on their website here.
And now I present you with the very creamy pumpkin pie ice cream recipe. And in case you’re wondering, it will work to make this in another ice cream maker.

Creamy Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
- Yield: 1 pint 1x
Description
This ice cream is so good, and full of all the rich flavors of Fall.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups full fat coconut milk, warmed and cooled to room temperature
1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon rum
2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract (I use Nielsen-Massey)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
*Optional: 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum (it will give the ice cream a creamier texture)
Instructions
In a blender jar combine the coconut milk, pumpkin, brown sugar, rum, vanilla paste, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth. If using the Xanthan gum, add it through the hole in the top of the blender while it’s blending on low. Replace top and blend in high for 15 seconds or so.
Pour the mixture into the Ninja Creami container and freeze for 24 hours. If using another ice cream maker, add it to the machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Notes
Vegan + Gluten-Free
