3. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt.
2. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients for 3–4 minutes until fully incorporated and slightly thickened—this helps prevent graininess from the sweetener.
3. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20–25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
4. Transfer the churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula to minimize ice crystals.
5. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
6. Remove from the freezer 5–10 minutes before serving to let it soften slightly for easier scooping.
Velvety and rich, this ice cream has a smooth texture that melts perfectly with the warm spice notes. I love topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or serving it alongside a keto-friendly brownie for an indulgent dessert that feels like fall in a bowl.
