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.

Visiting from Best of the Weekend
Thanks Jordan!! The cheesecake is a great addition 🙂
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 🙂
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 🙂
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!
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!
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 🙂
Molecular cloning protocols to recipes. Please, please, please can I come to your next get together?
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!
I recently discovered the awesomeness of pumpkin ice cream but pumpkin cheesecake ice cream sounds even better! Love this!
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!
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 🙂
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! 🙂
