No Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream with Caramel Walnut Swirl
No Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream with Caramel Walnut Swirl
Can you feel it? All things pumpkin are almost here.
Is anyone else as excited as I am? I love pumpkin season. Seriously. Stinkin. Love. It.
I could write love songs about pumpkin season or sonnets. And it totally cracks me up that one of Goose’s favorite words right now is, “Punkin!”
I go totally 100 percent basic girl come October and sport my yoga pants and Uggs while I hold my pumpkin spice latte proudly.
Yep, that girl that all those memes are about. That would be me.
I could be embarrassed about it, but instead I choose to own it. When my intense pumpkin craving starts in like July and I whine about how it’s taking SO LONG for pumpkin spice coffee to make its comeback, I get creative about scratching my pumpkin itch. I make frozen pumpkin things that don’t require baking like my frozen pumpkin pie.
Now that it’s the end of August, the pumpkin urge is so strong. The pumpkin is practically calling my name. But, it’s still hot out. So it would be kind of weird for me to bake a pumpkin pie or drink a hot pumpkin spice coffee, right?
Enter this no churn pumpkin ice cream with caramel walnut swirl. OMG. I swoon. Ice cream + pumpkin = heaven. Seriously heaven. Ice cream is my very favorite thing to eat. I have very close friendships formed solely on a mutual love of ice cream. Not even kidding a little. I met my best post school era friend because I was an ice cream shop junky and she happened to work there. Yep. That’s how often I was there.
Sad but true.
Anyway, back to this ice cream. It’s creamy, delicious and packed with all my favorite fall flavors. Pumpkin? Check. Cinnamon? Check. A hint of ginger? Check. Even better. It swirls those flavors with a delicious ribbon of caramel sauce and walnuts.
Plus, it’s easy. From start to freezer ready took 5 easy minutes while the Goose was on my hip, reaching her grubby little hands into the bowl, trying to touch the ice cream mix.
Like mother, like daughter I guess.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup of pumpkin puree
- 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbs cinnamon
- 1 tsp of ginger
- 1 tbs vanilla
- 1 cup of premade caramel topping
- 1 cup of walnuts chopped
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, using the wire whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy whipping cream and the tablespoon of vanilla until soft peaks form.
- While the heavy whipping cream is being whipped, in a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon and ginger until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- When the whipping cream is ready, gently fold in the pumpkin mix. Continue to fold until the mix is combined.
- Pour half the mixture into a large freezer safe container. Pour half of the caramel sauce on. Top with nuts. Pour the rest of the cream mixture into the container. Top with the rest of the caramel and nuts. Gently fold a few times so the caramel layers swirl through the ice cream.
- Freeze for 4-6 hours or until set.

Pumpkin mmmmmm….
Beautiful photos! What a perfect combination of fall flavors and summer treats! 🙂
Thank you! That was exactly my inspiration combining summer and fall 🙂
***rushes to store to buy pumpkin puree*** It’s not even fair how tasty this recipe looks. Definitely adding this to my recipe collection for the fall.
Lol, did you get your pumpkin?
This looks and sound delicious. Love anything with caramel, yummy!
Thank you! I agree caramel is to die for.
This looks so amazing! I pinned for later, I have a kitchen aid my mom gave me that I havent even used yet.. this looks like the perfect recipe to start with
OMG bust out that kitchen aid now girl! This is the perfect way to break it in. PS. I am obsessed with my kitchen aid. I love it almost as much as I love pumpkin…and that’s a lot.
Pumpkin always makes me think of Fall. In south Florida it can be as warm in the Fall (and even December) as it is a good part of the year. Pumpkin ice-cream is a perfect treat.
I’ve been to Miami in the middle of February and it made me laugh because my husband and I were hitting the beach and wearing shorts and the locals were in fur coats! It was like 80 degrees during the day. We live in the northeast so it was fab for us. But I would totally miss fall. And yes, I was thinking about all you Floridians with this pumpkin ice cream.
I thought I had posted this, but maybe not. If I double dipped (pun intended), forgive me.Pumpkin always makes me think of Fall.Here in south Florida, it is warm, or even hot, most of the year. This is a perfect solution: Pumpkin Ice-cream!
Lol double dipped 🙂 Hahahahaha
This time of year I am all about anything pumpkin so thank you for sharing this. I want to try this out!
Me too! Pumpkin is life this time of year.
Sounds so lovely, and a perfect recipe for fall! Yay for pumpkin!
Yay indeed!
Unusual combination but looks absolutely delicious. Bookmarked!
I’m not a huge pumpkin flavor fan but for some reason I think I’d like it as ice cream paired with the caramel 🙂
I was late to the pumpkin bandwagon. I just fell in love with it a few years ago. I needed a good gateway pumpkin thing. For me it was froyo. Try this, it’s not hard core pumpkiny but has the nice sweet pumpkin notes in it. Perfect gateway pumpkin.
I had homemade ice cream for the first time this summer and loved it. My husband also loved it because you have control over how sweet, or in his case not sweet, you want it
Homemade ice cream is totally the way to go.
I hate to see summer go but I love fall and all things pumpkin. I can;t wait to try this. It’s ben added to the list of pumpkin things I make every year!
I know, I hate the end of summer too. I always get a smidge sad this time of year even though the ber months are my favorite. I guess it’s left over from school days. But I truly will miss being able to go to the pool with my daughter.
Yum! I love no-churn ice cream recipes!
They are so much fun! So easy and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious!
Yum! This looks delicious! Fall is my favorite time of year, so I’m adding this to my must-make list for this Fall 🙂
Fall is fab. I hope you like it!
Love this! So ready for pumpkin season! We are growing some this year and it is my fall obsession. I can’t wait for harvest time.
We grew pumpkins several years ago but I haven’t grown a garden since my daughter was born. Next year!
This ice cream recipe looks great for a fall treat. I can’t wait until all the pumpkin flavoured stuff hits the stores soon. I am going to give this a try.
The pumpkin stuff is here! I bought my pumpkin cream and tea! I am so excited!
Caramel walnut swirl?! Gah! Get a bowl ready, I’m coming over!
Haha, there’s a bowl waiting for you!
I am going to try this as I love pumpkin. I will change out the cinnamon for ginger. For health reasons.
Lol health reasons.
Oh man! This looks AMAZING! I wish I had all these ingredients so I can get up and make this immediately! Pinning now!
Go to the store! Quick! You’ll be so glad you did!!
Yum! That looks amaze!
Aaaaahh my inner sweet tooth is coming out! This looks absolutely heavenly!

Oh my goodness, this is going on the list for the holidays! I love it.
Thank you! It would be fab as a holiday dessert but it’s also great in the late summer heat 🙂
