I took sweetened condensed milk and milk and added some pumpkin and Pumpkin Pie Spice to it to make this recipe for Pumpkin Ice Cream. It's not dairy free sorry but it tastes so dang good.

Pro Tips Pumpkin Ice Cream
Make sure your pumpkin puree is well blended into the base so you don't end up with little pieces throughout the ice cream. A little extra pumpkin pie spice can also be added if you prefer a stronger warm spice flavor.
Freeze the Ninja Creami pint on a level surface for at least 24 hours. If the ice cream looks crumbly after the first spin, use the Re-Spin function until it becomes smooth and creamy.
For a fun texture, add crushed graham crackers or chopped pecans using the Mix-In function after processing.
Storage
Store leftover Ninja Creami Pumpkin Ice Cream in the Creami pint with the lid securely attached and keep it frozen.
If the ice cream becomes firm after being refrozen, let the pint sit at room temperature for a few minutes before processing it again. Use the Re-Spin function to restore a smooth, creamy texture.
Serving Suggestions
Top pumpkin ice cream with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an easy fall dessert. Crushed graham crackers add a delicious cheesecake-inspired flavor and a little crunch.
You can also drizzle caramel sauce over the top and add chopped pecans for a pumpkin caramel sundae. Mini chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or crushed gingersnap cookies are also delicious mix-ins.
For an extra cozy dessert, serve a scoop alongside a warm slice of apple crisp or pumpkin bread. A little cinnamon sprinkled over the top makes this homemade Ninja Creami dessert even better.
