Hi There! Today I’m sharing with you a family favoriterecipe, Clean Eating Pumpkin Ice Cream. This recipe, like so many of ours, is healthy and is made with real food ingredients. A few years ago, our family cleaned up our diet and we’re on a journey to eat healthier. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
Our family’s favorite time of year is fall. All of the delicious fall fruits and vegetables are in season; pumpkins, winter squashes, apples, etc. Plus, the weather has finally cooled down making it easier to get outdoors and have fun as a family. After playing outside with our kids, ice cream always hits the spot. This pumpkin ice cream is perfect for fall afternoons. It’s a delicious treat you and your family will love!
This pumpkin ice cream is perfect for those who are eating cleaner and avoiding processed ingredients. With just 4 real food ingredients, it is simple to make and is really delicious. It can be served immediately as a soft serve or frozen overnight then served as a scoop. If you freeze the ice cream overnight, it will freeze hard. Just before serving, remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to sit on the counter for a few minutes to soften.
Making ice cream with frozen bananas is an easy way to control the sugar by adding sweetness through fruit. We freeze bananas whenever they get too ripe. All those natural sugars are great used in banana bread or in this pumpkin ice cream.
Control the sweetness of this ice cream with added maple syrup or honey. You may not need the entire ¼ cup because the bananas are sweet enough on their own. I recommend combining the bananas, pumpkin, and spice first. Taste the mixture and then add the maple syrup or honey until you get the right level of sweetness.
