Why You’ll Love This Vegan Pumpkin Pie Creami

This recipe brings you all the warming spices and pumpkin goodness of homemade pie—without the baking! But what really sets it apart is the combination of a creamy, ice-cream-like texture and an impressive 20 grams of plant-based protein per serving. Fast, satisfying, and easy to customize, it’ll quickly become a go-to for busy weeknights or fueling up after the gym.

Building Creamy, High-Protein Vegan Ice Cream

At the heart of this recipe is a strategic blend of pumpkin puree, your favorite unsweetened plant-based milk, and a vanilla vegan protein powder for a big protein punch. For maximum creaminess, a scoop of plant-based Greek-style yogurt keeps the texture rich and spoonable while healthy fats, like a splash of cashew or coconut cream, turn the treat luscious, not icy. Sweeten simply with maple syrup, letting the naturally sweet pumpkin shine.

Assembling Your Vegan Pumpkin Pie Creami

Blend the ingredients until super smooth, add an extra shake of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and transfer to your Creami cup or freezer-safe container. Freeze until solid (typically overnight), then process in your Ninja Creami (or similar) for a perfectly creamy texture. Garnish with crushed graham crackers or dairy-free whipped cream for the ultimate pumpkin pie experience.
