This Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream is a super easy, egg free ice cream recipe that’s perfect a quick fall treat with delicious pumpkin pie spices.
I’m in a weird spot right now.
The world is transitioning into fall, with big beautiful green trees turning all shades of red, brown, yellow and orange. The air is crisper in the evenings, and the mornings arrive with dew drops on the grass. Cinnamon and spice candles burn and invite the welcoming smells of what is sure to be a glorious season. Sounds magical doesn’t it?
Right now temperatures here in Arizona are just barely dropping under 100 degrees. We aren’t quite there yet. But I still yearn for the traditional fall that the rest of the world enjoys.
My solution… Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream.
This ice cream brings me all the fall I need with it’s super smooth and creamy texture and pop of pumpkin pie spice, yet still cools me off in this heat.
To give it that “cheesecake crust” I added some crushed biscoff cookies on top. It’s simply divine.
It’s the perfect dessert to transition you from summer to fall.
I strongly urge you to give this ice cream a try. It’s absolutely easy, and you’ll be so glad you did it.
Simply place all the ingredients in a large bowl and beat till smooth.
Pour it into your ice cream maker and wait patiently till it’s churned.
If you’re a soft ice-cream kind of person, enjoy straight out of the ice cream maker. I prefer my ice cream to be a little firmer. So I poured it into a container and back in the freezer till it reached the texture I desired.
The ice cream is so thick and creamy with that cheesecake tart-ness. The pumpkin and spice come straight out at you and blend so perfectly together.
I feel like I shouldn’t even have to convince you anymore.
It’s a no-brainer. You need this. It needs you.
But seriously, do the biscoff cookie crumbs. It totally makes this ice cream perfect.
I’m talking PERFECT.
BEST. EVER.
Ok, I’m done now.

I do not have an ice cream maker. Can I just put it in the freezer?? This looks amazing…thanks
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie
So easy to make! I tend to not make homemade ice cream as much as I’d like to due to all the extra egg whites I end up with
Kristi @ My San Francisco Kitchen
This makes me so excited that fall is here! Wish I could try some!!
Lindsey
this looks really, really good but do you have to chill the mixture before putting it into the ice cream maker first?
Shawn
Hi Lindsey! Nope! I know a lot of recipes call for that step, but not mine. You can just place it right into the ice cream maker. Make sure that your ice cream bowl has been frozen for the proper amount of time (usually 8 hours up to 24 hours). I just always keep my ice cream bowl in the freezer so when the craving for ice cream arises, I don’t have to wait! Thanks, I hope you like it!
PA Mama
Just wondering how much this recipe yields?
Shawn
Hi PA Mama! This recipe makes about 1 1/2 quarts of ice cream! Thanks for your question!

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoyed the ice cream! 🙂
Julia
Yum-yum. Looks so delicious!
Jaclyn
This looks and sounds so incredibly good! I’ve seen it all over Pinterest and had no idea it was yours. I need to start following the link on the pics more often =). How did you get such a gorgeous scoop?? I hate taking pictures of ice cream because I can never get a good and perfect scoop like yours. Thanks for making me hungry =).
Shawn
haha, thanks Jaclyn! I froze it a little extra in the freezer to make sure it was nice and firm, and because this ice cream is extra creamy {not icy at all} it scoops very very well.
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
I hear you – it’s hot here too! Not at hot as AZ, but still HOT! Biscoff cookies with pumpkin, I think you’ve made my night. 🙂
Shawn
That’s what I’m here for! 😉
Wendy B.
I made this for a fall ice cream social and it is indeed VERY delicious and rich! I love it!
Shawn
Awesome Wendy! So glad you love it! 🙂
Lauren @ Healthy Food For Living
This sounds amazing! I just made a pumpkin cheesecake “pudding” that is also eggless (will be posted on my blog early next week)… LOVE the combination of pumpkin & cream cheese =).
Shawn
Thanks Lauren, that pudding sounds tasty! Can’t wait to see it!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
OH. EM. GEE. Are you kidding me right now?! This looks incredible! I’m with ya–fall is hardly approaching here in Sacramento, but I’m yearning for the leaves to turn colors and to break out my sweaters and boots! Thank goodness for this ice cream being the best of both worlds 🙂
Shawn
The past few days I have looked at all my sweaters each morning and quietly whisper to them, “soon!” HAHA… I am dying for a cool down!
Wendy
Oh…I think I just fell in love! It sounds so decadent and perfect!!!
Sommer@ASpicyPerspective
I want to kiss your face for this one!
Shawn
hehe… you’re so silly! 🙂

Well, what d’ya know–I just got three free Biscoff cookie packages from the Ghirardelli chocolate festival…lucky me, guess I know what use they’ll be put to! (The fact that they don’t sell Biscoff cookies here still boggles my mind; you’d figure Americans would catch on quicker than that, right?) Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe.
Shawn
First of all… Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival – WHOA! Secondly, you can actually find biscoff cookies at Walmart, and probably some other grocery stores as well. (about time too!) I sure hope you enjoy!
Ala
Walmart. Oh. My. Goodness. I haven’t been this excited since Disney announced the arrival of Cars Land. If you hear about a nationwide Walmart cookies aisle raid, you’ll know who was responsible. (Thanks a bushel and a bunch!) And yes, the festival’s an annual SF event that is definitely worth checking out!
Heidi @foodiecrush
Oh Shawn, you have just kick-started my pumpkin love for the season. And my daughter thanks you.
Shawn
Yay! I sure hope you gals love it as much as I do!
Asiya @ Chocolate and Chillies
It’s been so hot this week here…like summer..this ice cream is the perfect way to cool off!
Jessica@AKitchenAddiction
It’s still warm here, too! This is a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of fall!
Shawn
Thanks Jessica, I totally agree! 🙂
Kristen
This, my friend, looks incredible! YUM!
Shawn
Thanks Kristen! It tastes incredible too!
