Creamy, spiced, and secretly high-protein, this pumpkin cottage cheese keto ice cream tastes like frozen pumpkin pie and it’s totally guilt-free.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
    1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree, 1/2 cup Swerve, 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice, 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract - sugar free
  • Pour the mixture into an airtight freezer-safe container. You can use two small ones for portion control.
  • Freeze for 2–4 hours. Stir once every hour if you’re skipping an ice cream maker. This helps reduce ice crystals and keeps it creamy.
  • Once firm, scoop and enjoy! Add keto chocolate chips, a swirl of almond butter, or drizzle of sugar-free syrup if you like.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap inside the container to prevent freezer burn. Lasts up to 2 weeks in the freezer.

Notes

  • Check out my homemade keto pumpkin puree recipe.
  • This recipe makes 2 portions or 6 medium scoops.
  • Add a Smoother Texture: If you are not using an ice cream maker, I recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of guar gum or xanthan gum to your mixture. This will give your ice cream a smoother mouthfeel, similar to store-bought ice cream.
  • Use an Ice Cream Maker: While this recipe doesn’t require an ice cream maker, you can certainly use one if you prefer. An ice cream maker can help achieve a creamier texture by churning the mixture as it freezes.
  • Try the Ninja Creami (love mine): For the best texture, consider using a Ninja Creami. This appliance is designed to create ultra-smooth and creamy ice cream, making it a great option for this recipe.
  • Stir During Freezing: If you’re freezing the ice cream without an ice cream maker, stir the mixture every hour. This helps prevent ice crystals from forming and ensures a creamier texture.
  • Portion Control: For easier portion control, divide the mixture into smaller containers before freezing. This way, you can enjoy your ice cream in manageable servings.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to get creative with your ice cream by adding different flavors. Mix in some chocolate chips, a swirl of almond butter, or even a dash of cocoa powder for a unique twist.
  • Store Properly: To avoid freezer burn, store your ice cream in a freezer-safe container and cover it with plastic wrap. This will help maintain the best texture and flavor.
