Pumpkin Spice Latte Ice Cream that’s SO Breakfast-Worthy!

Safeway shared this dairy-free pumpkin spice latte ice cream recipe and photo with us. They made it with canned pumpkin from their O Organics product line. But we have some additional options to add with these FAQs.

Can I Make this Recipe without Bananas?

You can definitely make it banana-free. Bananas add creaminess and sweetness, so both of those factors should be kept in mind. I would substitute another 1/4 cup pumpkin puree for the banana (3/4 cup total), increase the cashew butter to 2 tablespoons, and add sweetener, to taste. Alternatively, I would use 1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream in place of the banana, and sweeten additionally, to taste.

Will Another Nut Butter Work?

Cashew butter has the creamiest and sweetest taste, so it doesn’t compete with pumpkin or coffee. That said, you can use almond butter with good results. I wouldn’t recommend peanut butter, because the stronger flavor might not meld well. Alternatively, you can grab 2 tablespoons cashews, almonds, or hazelnuts from your cupboard and blend them in your food processor with the other ingredients until creamy.

Can I Use a Different Sweetener?

Definitely! Your sweetener of choice, to taste, will work great. Most sweeteners complement this recipe.

You can freeze the pumpkin at night, and enjoy this cool nice cream topped with granola for breakfast. It also makes a healthier dessert to enjoy throughout the holidays.

Author: Safeway

Recipe type: Dessert

Cuisine: American

Serves: 2 servings

Ingredients

• ½ cup pumpkin puree, frozen into cubes in ice cube trays
• 2 frozen very ripe bananas, cut or broken into 1-inch chunks
• 1 teaspoon espresso instant coffee granules
• 1 tablespoon cashew butter (can sub sunflower seed butter for nut-free)
• 1½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup

Instructions

1. Place the pumpkin cubes in your food processor or high-speed blender* and let them soften for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the bananas, coffee granules, cashew butter, pie spice, and maple syrup to the pumpkin. Pulse until the mixture begins to resemble an ice cream consistency, about 5 minutes.
3. Store leftovers packed in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

*If you don't have a food processor or high power blender, use pumpkin puree that hasn't been frozen, and pulse in your regular blender. It will be much softer, but you can then freeze it for 1 to 2 hours, if desired.
