Ingredients
  

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 ½ cups non-fat Greek yogurt

¼ cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

2 tbsp cream cheese (reduced-fat)

½ cup almond milk (unsweetened)

¼ cup maple syrup or honey (adjust for sweetness)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

½ tsp cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, or whipped coconut cream

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a large mixing bowl or blender, combine the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, protein powder, reduced-fat cream cheese, almond milk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

    Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup or honey. If you like a stronger spice flavor, add a bit more pumpkin pie spice.

      Chill: Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This helps the flavors meld and improves the texture of the ice cream.

        Churn the Ice Cream: After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

          Freeze: If you prefer a firmer texture, transfer the churned ice cream to a container, smooth the top, and freeze for at least 3-4 hours.

            Serve: Once ready to serve, scoop out your guilt-free pumpkin cheesecake protein ice cream into bowls or cones. Top with optional toppings like crushed graham crackers, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

              Enjoy: Indulge in your pumpkin spice bliss without any guilt!
