This Ninja Creami Vegan Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream recipe makes a great dairy-free dessert idea for the fall season.
A fall recipe in the middle of summer? Have I gone crazy? This is definitely not the time of year for pumpkin recipes.
But it IS the time of year for creamy ice cream recipes. Plus, they sell pumpkin puree in stores all year round, so I don’t know why more people aren’t enjoying pumpkin treats in the summer.
This Ninja Creami Vegan Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream is actually a healthy ice cream recipe if you can believe that. Unlike a traditional ice cream recipe that uses heavy cream, this ice cream is made with oat milk, protein powder and stevia. And even though this is a light ice cream, it is still super creamy. I’m telling you, owning a Ninja Creami is a game changer for eating healthier when you are always craving ice cream.

- pumpkin pie spice
- instant pudding mix
- graham crackers

Tips
What milk to use. While I love oat milk because it produces a very creamy texture, you can use any non-dairy milk you like. Soy milk or unsweetened almond milk would work, but it may make the texture a little icy. I would suggest a creamier milk such as cashew or coconut milk. If you did not need to make this a dairy-free recipe, you can also use cow’s milk (fairlife milk works the best).
What to do with Ninja Creami Leftovers. Leave any leftovers in the Ninja Creami container and place in the freezer. When ready to eat, place in your Ninja Creami machine and use the lite ice cream setting. If the first spin still leaves a powdery texture, add a splash of milk and set to Re-spin.
Add your favorite mix-ins. This recipe makes a great ice cream base. I love adding in some mini chocolate chips, biscoff cookies or a sprinkle of brown sugar.
