Equipment

  • 1 ice cream maker
  • 1 blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp gelatin
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Pour about half the can of coconut milk into a small pot (if it has hardened, scoop half the white cream and pour half the clear liquid into the pot). Whisk to reduce lumps. Evenly sprinkle a thin layer of gelatin over the coconut milk and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the rest of the ingredients to a blender.
  • After 10 minutes, place the pot of coconut milk & gelatin on the stove and turn heat to medium. When the coconut milk is warm, slowly whisk the gelatin until it is dissolved.
  • Remove the pot from the stove and pour the coconut milk/gelatin into the blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend on medium high for about a minute until the mixture is very smooth.
  • Pour mixture into a bowl and place in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for approximately one hour. Then remove and whisk until smooth if a solid layer has formed on top.
  • Turn on the ice cream maker and pour in the mixture. Finish by churning for at least 20 minutes or until ice cream is thick and frozen. Scoop into an airtight container and place in the freezer where it will continue to freeze. Store for up to 2 weeks.
    If you do not have an ice cream maker, see notes below.

Notes

If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this recipe. Place the ice cream mixture in a deep metal bowl and place in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, take out the bowl and blend the ice cream using an electric hand mixer. Do this until ice cream is thick and frozen.
Coconut Milk
The quality of coconut milk can also have an impact on flavor, as some can have a bitter aftertaste. Organic canned coconut milk tends to have a purer flavor. My top three favorite brands are 365 Whole Foods Market, Wild Harvest, and Trader Joe's. If using Trader Joe's, the result may be icier since this coconut milk does not contain guar gum. 365 Whole Foods Market is my favorite coconut milk to use as a replacement for cream since it has a very mild taste.
