Of course! Here’s your full blog post for Pumpkin Spice Coffee Ice Cream β€” written in a fun, friendly, simple style just like you asked:

If fall and summer had a baby, it would be this ice cream.

It’s cozy from the pumpkin spice, with that little kick from the coffee, and it’s super creamy.

Plus, you don’t even need an ice cream maker!

I love whipping this up for a fun weekend treat β€” my kids are obsessed, and honestly, the grown-ups sneak just as many bites.

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1/2 cup pure pumpkin purΓ©e
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

What to Serve With πŸͺβ˜•οΈ

  • Warm snickerdoodle cookies
  • A hot cup of coffee or chai tea

Pro Tips πŸ‘©β€πŸ³

  • Make sure your whipping cream is super cold β€” it whips faster and fluffier!
  • Cool your coffee completely before adding, or it can mess up the cream.
  • Gently fold everything together β€” don’t stir too hard or you’ll lose the fluffy texture.
  • Freeze it in a metal loaf pan for faster freezing.
  • Cover the ice cream tightly with plastic wrap touching the surface to avoid ice crystals.

Tools You’ll Need πŸ”§

  • Hand mixer (or stand mixer)
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Loaf pan or freezer-safe container
  • Plastic wrap

Substitutions and Variations

  • No pumpkin spice? Use cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves mixed together.
  • No coffee? You can skip it or use decaf for a kid-friendlier version.
  • Dairy-free? Swap the cream for full-fat coconut cream and use a dairy-free condensed milk.

Make Ahead Tips

You can totally make this 2–3 days ahead! Just keep it tightly covered in the freezer until you’re ready to scoop.

Leftovers and Storage 🍨

Store leftover ice cream tightly covered in the freezer. It’s best eaten within 2 weeks (but it usually disappears way faster at my house!). If it gets too hard, let it sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping.

FAQ πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

Can I make this without coffee?
Yep! It’s just as good without it β€” just add an extra teaspoon of vanilla.

Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin purΓ©e?
Nope, it’s too sweet and has extra spices. Stick to pure pumpkin purΓ©e.

Can I make it low sugar?
You could try a sugar-free condensed milk, but it might change the texture a little.
