Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Ice Cream
A creamy homemade ice cream bursting with pumpkin spices. The BEST pumpkin spice cheesecake ice cream recipe!
FACT #1: I don’t care much for ice cream.
I don’t hate it. I eat it from time to time especially in the summer but I’ll take a slice of cake or cheesecake any time of the day. I’ve just never been into ice cream. Is that even a thing?
This is why it is a big deal for me to be posting and endorsing this pumpkin spice cheesecake ice cream recipe today. It BLEW my mind away. Literally.
FACT #2: I have the best friends ever!
A few weeks ago, my dear friend Chris brought a container of ice cream to school for Mr. J that I was supposed to bring home, a mere messenger considering FACT #1. When he told me it was pumpkin spice cheesecake ice cream, I had to try a bite. Well, it was a bad idea because Mr. J did not get much of his ice cream as one bite turned into a spoonful after another. I couldn’t help myself. The ice cream is so creamy, very smooth, bursting with pumpkin spices, and AMAZING! Of course, I did what any food blogger would do and asked for the recipe to share with you!!
Ever since I started blogging my friends have been very supportive. In addition to constantly putting in requests, they help me come up with ideas for recipes. Our lunch conversations now shift naturally from troubleshooting molecular cloning protocols to recipe ideas for the blog. “Ooooo these pumpkin cookies will be awesome if you sandwich them with that pumpkin spice ice cream and whiskey whipped cream” “Wait, that’s a whoopie pie without the chocolate chips. Make that happen”. To be honest, most of the recipes you see here are made for them. However, I am cutting them off on the pumpkin soon, once I make a pumpkin roll (Yes, Neva it is coming!).
FACT #3: Make this pumpkin spice cheesecake ice cream ASAP and be prepared to LOVE it!
No kidding, it’s the best ice cream I’ve had! Mr. J finally got to enjoy his fair share with the next batch of course.
Add in some crunch (walnuts, pecans) and/or top with some spiced rum whipped cream. I am wishing I did, but there was no time to think outside the box once the spoon hit the taste buds. Luckily, you can learn from my mistakes.

THIS SOUNDS AMAZING! I’m a pretty big ice cream fan, especially ones that look so incredible! 🙂
I LOVE ice cream! So glad you posted this!!
I am a year-round ice cream eater and this delicious stuff only reinforced this belief 🙂 Looks incredible!
Haha unfortunately my lab friends arn’t as creative when it comes to baking but they gladly eat anything I bring in! Love this ice cream.
I love this! I agree.. ice cream can be eaten anytime of year… preferably every day 🙂 This looks so delicious, Zainab!
Ice-cream + cheesecake = Happiness.
I need to get the ice-cream machine to work and make this stuff asap. It looks heavenly!
My dad doesn’t really care for ice cream either. *sigh* But I sure do (too much:) and I have always wanted to make this kind of ice cream! It looks and sounds so so good! Pinned!
We eat ice cream year round in our house. I think I will be dreaming about this. Yum!
Pumpkin ice cream, yum! Pinned for later Zainab 🙂
I’m blown away! This is absolutely brilliant! Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Ice Cream? My husband and I would be all over this. Looks delicious!
Oh gosh, this ice cream sounds so good! Ice cream isn’t my favorite dessert either, but I wish I could have a whole bucket of it to myself. 🙂 Love that you added those little pumpkins!
I need a ice cream maker to make this amazing ice cream, it sounds pretty much perfect!
I love everything about this! and..I always need new recipes for my ice cream maker! we need to work on your love of ice cream! 🙂
Zainab, you are killing me with all this cheesecake! I can’t get over that Snickers cake and now this, amazing! Please save some for me 🙂
This looks so creamy and rich, and I know I would love the flavors! I’m a huge ice cream fan as well as pumpkin and cheesecake. I’m pinning this!
I recently discovered the awesomeness of pumpkin ice cream but pumpkin cheesecake ice cream sounds even better! Love this!
Yum! I’ve got an extra can of pumpkin and I was wondering what to do with it. Thanks for answering the question for me, my friend! And with a cheesecake flavor, you can’t go wrong!
Molecular cloning protocols to recipes. Please, please, please can I come to your next get together?
For all those that say they need an ice cream maker for this one…. you really dont… Just follow the recipe above and then freeze it… It still turns out amazing!
Thanks Chris!
Thanks man!! That’s helpful 🙂
Yum! So excited to try this! I do love ice cream- what a fun way to enjoy the pumpkin season. AND, now that Chris pointed out I don’t need an ice cream maker I have no excuse not to try it!
I love pumpkin cheesecake and always want to make it for Thanksgiving. But every year, we celebrate my niece’s birthday on turkey day so we always have her favorite dessert, pumpkin spice cake instead of the traditional pies, etc. I am hosting Thanksgiving this year so I think I’ll make a batch of this ice cream to go with the “untraditional” Thanksgiving birthday cake. It sounds delicious! Thanks Zainab!
It’s probably best to discuss recipes/food at lunch than cloning, which is kind of like some sort of black art. And in my experience, troubleshooting does no good…it’s really just up to chance.
This ice cream is INSANE. There’s no way I would have shared!
No amount of troubleshooting helps. Why? I’m strongly disliking that black art. Have fun on Sunday! I’ll be stalking you virtually 🙂
This sounds amazing! Although I have to say I don’t think I think I have ever had pumpkin ice cream but I can just imagine how it would taste!
I usually talk over recipes with my mom just like you do with your friends! Its so nice to have the people you care about giving inspiration 🙂
This looks so delicious! I love ice cream, pumpkin, and cream cheese, so I already can tell it will be one of my new favorites 🙂
