It has coffee, vanilla and pumpkin flavours and then the wonderful pumpkin swirl is made with pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. The whole thing offers warm spices, a blend of sweetness from the condensed milk and a tarter flavour from the coffee, and it comes out like soft serve ice cream.
You don’t need an ice cream maker to create pumpkin spice latte ice cream. As long as you have the ingredients you should find it easy to create this mouthwatering sweet treat. And if you love fall flavours (during fall season or outside of it) this is a delicious ice cream option you won’t regret making.

Why You’ll Love It
Delicious: Does the thought of pumpkin ice cream with condensed milk, vibrant warm spices and pumpkin spice lattes make your mouth water? Just wait until you taste how good this pumpkin spice latte ice cream is!
No ice cream maker required: As long as you have a handheld electric mixer or a stand mixer (or lots of arm strength if not!) you can make no churn ice cream without needing an ice cream machine.
Adaptable: When making your own pumpkin spice latte ice cream, you can tweak it so it’s a perfect fit for your palate. Feel free to make it less or more sweet, change the pumpkin pie spice for others.
Easy Pumpkin Ice Cream Ingredients
The recipe is made in two stages – you have the main ice cream mixture and then the pumpkin spice latte swirl. For the pumpkin ice cream, you need heavy cream, vanilla instant pudding mixture, coffee powder, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetened condensed milk.
The pumpkin swirl calls for more cream, vanilla pudding, pumpkin pie spice, and sweetened condensed milk, along with pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.

Prepare the pumpkin swirl mixture: Combine the pumpkin swirl ingredients in a small bowl.
Prepare the ice cream mixture: Whip the cream until the soft peaks stage in a large bowl, then add the vanilla pudding, coffee, and pumpkin spice, and beat until stiff peaks form.
Finish off the ice cream recipe: Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream coffee mixture, then taste and add more coffee if needed.
Swirl both mixtures together: Layer the base mixture and pumpkin swirl mixture in a freezer safe container, then use a butter knife to make the swirl pattern. If you don’t have a lidded container, you can use a loaf pan or two and seal the top with plastic wrap and then a layer of foil.
Freeze the ice cream: Cover tightly and freeze for 12 hours or until frozen, then serve when ready.
Substitutions and Variations
You can use different spices in place of the pumpkin pie spice, perhaps a pinch each of cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, or swap another extract for the vanilla.
Another flavour of pudding mix would work, so long as it’s the instant kind. And of course you can vary the amount of coffee used, depending how strong you want the flavour to be.
If you aren’t a fan of either coffee or pumpkin, there are plenty more homemade ice cream recipes you can try.
How to Serve Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream
Enjoy a scoop or two of this just as it is, or pair it with a latte or your favourite kind of coffee. You might like some whipped cream on top for a la mode indulgence, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce. Or garnish it with some homemade Halloween bark for a double dessert in one!
How to Store Pumpkin Spice Coffee Ice Cream
Freeze: It won’t surprise you to discover this is best kept in the freezer, like with any other ice cream recipe. It will keep for about 3 months, which is less than store-bought ice cream and is because it doesn’t contain the preservatives or stabilizers found in the commercial brands.
No Churn Ice Cream Recipe FAQs
The pudding mix helps stabilize the ice cream and give it a creamy, soft serve texture and help you reach the stiff peak stage when mixing the ice cream ingredients. The lightness it adds makes it creamy instead of having tiny ice crystals. Now, you can leave this ingredient out if you want but bear in mind the texture of the ice cream will be different.
That’s up to you and you can use any brand you happen to enjoy. Good quality coffee tends to be finer in consistency which is good for making ice cream since you want it dissolved into the mixture, but you can use whatever you have. Instant espresso is nice here. And either regular or decaf is fine.
