Why This Pumpkin Pie Protein Ice Cream Creami Recipe is a Must-Try

With the comforting spices of pumpkin pie, rich pumpkin purée, and a sweet vanilla protein boost, every scoop is both nostalgic and energizing. Ready in minutes (plus a little patience while it freezes), it’s ideal for meal preppers, athletes, or anyone looking to enjoy dessert more healthfully. It’s a crowd-pleaser that offers the creamy satisfaction of traditional ice cream—minus excess calories and sugar.

How to Create a Creamy, Protein-Packed Base

The secret to ultra-creamy protein ice cream is a combination of high-quality vanilla protein powder, a splash of unsweetened almond milk, and the sweetness of real pumpkin purée. Blend in warm spices—like cinnamon and nutmeg—for that authentic pumpkin pie experience. If you’re craving even more richness, a spoonful of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese adds extra creaminess and protein without overpowering flavor.

Pumpkin Pie Filling Flavors, Reimagined

By blending pumpkin purée into the base, you capture the heart of classic pumpkin pie while keeping everything smooth and light. Depending on your taste, stir in extra pumpkin spice or a dash of maple syrup for natural sweetness. For toppings, crushed graham crackers or toasted pecans add delightful crunch and mimic the crust of your favorite pie.
