Dairy Free Pumpkin Ice Cream

It’s that time of year when pumpkins are everywhere! 

I have eliminated dairy and gluten to get my body back in a healthy state. As you know, these two things are everywhere. They are screaming at me to eat all the yummy pumpkin treats! So to stay dairy free I made this Dairy Free Pumpkin Ice Cream.

It is creamy and full of spices. You won’t miss the cream and milk. This is definitely a guilt free, good for you treat.

I am also trying to omit processed sugar from the house so this recipe has none of that and a just a little bit of maple syrup, which goes amazing with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Yum!

This pumpkin ice cream is very easy to make. Just put all ingredients in a blender to mix together. Then you can either use an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturers directions or you can pour the mixture into a pan ( I usually use a loaf pan) and place in the freezer, stirring every hour until frozen.

There are many health benefits to eating this ice cream. Here are just a few:

Health Benefits of Coconut Milk

• full of vitamins and minerals: Vitamin C, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Potassium, Copper, Manganese, Selenium
• contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCT’s). These fats go directly to the liver from the digestive system and are used for energy, which means a smaller chance of being stored as fat.
• may reduce inflammation

Health Benefits of Pumpkin

• high in vitamin C and antioxidants like beta-carotene and other carotenoids
• helps to detoxify your liver. Beta-carotene other carotenoids improve the tissue health which helps your liver to function the way it should.
• vitamin C & E is good for your skin
• good source of potassium
• helps to reduce inflammation

Health Benefits of Cinnamon

• full of antioxidants that can slow the age process
• anti-inflammatory
• good for your heart health
• can lower blood sugar levels
• may help with allergy symptoms

I hope you find this ice cream to be a good substitute for the dairy version.
