    By Alisa Fleming on July 23, 2020 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes

    This is a gourd frozen dessert recipe for all seasons! Enjoy this vegan pumpkin cheesecake ice cream as a cool and creamy treat in spring and summer, or a rich and festive treat in the cooler months. It has a light pumpkin influence that you can double down on, if you wish.

    Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream Recipe - homemade, rich, sweet, and creamy dairy-free, gluten-free frozen dessert

    Vegan Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream is Sweet, Rich, and Timeless

    This vegan pumpkin pie ice cream was a Runner-Up Recipe from the Go Veggie Dairy-Free Ice Cream Contest. The entrants used Go Veggie Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative (made by Galaxy Nutritional Foods) to create a vegan ice cream recipe. This recipe was created by Brad Wolff.

    Brad uses a few ingredients that you might recognize from other dairy alternative recipes: lecithin, xanthan gum, and oil. Lecithin helps to emulsify the oil with the other ingredients, and xanthan gum binds that emulsification to create a creamier finish with less iciness. Here are some notes on these ingredients to help you.

    Lecithin

    Do you need it? Maybe, but it’s not necessary. I don’t use lecithin in my Dairy-Free Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream Recipe, because most milk beverages contain enough lecithin to emulsify the whole blend. Depending on the cream cheese alternative you use, you might not need to add the lecithin. It might emulsify the mixture just fine without adding lecithin. If you decide to try it, you can buy soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin.

    Gum

    Do you need it? It does help. I do use a little bit of gum in my Dairy-Free Cookies ‘n Cream Ice Cream Recipe. With ice cream recipes that contain oil, gum helps to lock in the emulsion and create a creamier finish. You can omit it, but it’s possible that the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream will be a little icier or it might separate a little as it melts. You can use xanthan gum or guar gum – the latter is corn-free.

    Oil

    Do you need it? Recommended, but there are other options. Oil might seem like an odd ingredient, but it’s merely a plant-based fat that helps to add richness to the finish without dairy. It also helps to soften the ice cream. This is one time when I recommend skipping coconut oil (and palm oil) as it sets up too firmly when frozen. Other oils stay liquid, even when frozen, resulting in softer vegan pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. If you want to make it oil-free, you can substitute 1/4 cup coconut cream. It will cause this frozen dessert to be more firm and possibly a little icier.

    The recipe takes just 10 minutes to prepare, but allow for several hours of chilling time! If required by the instructions, make sure your ice cream maker insert has been in the freezer for at least 24 hours. If not, the ice cream might not set up.
