If you are a Pumpkin lover than you are going to have to try this made in a machine Easy Homemade Pumpkin Gelato, creamy and delicious.

The Italian was happy to know that this month our chosen ingredient is Pumpkin. He has been bugging me to make Pumpkin Gelato since I started making my own puree.

Last month we shared our Rice Recipes and I have to say I always look forward to sharing my recipe with these  amazing women who I can now call friends. This month we decided Pumpkin was the star.

What you will need to make this Easy Homemade Pumpkin Gelato.

Ice Cream Maker –   I love making gelato with a machine, the taste is amazing.

Pumpkin Puree –   If you prefer to make your own it is really simple and here is the way I make                                      Pumpkin Puree.

Hand Mixer       –     This is one small appliance that I could never do without.

Caramel Sauce  –    Nothing like a tablespoon or more of caramel sauce on ice cream.

Can you make this gelato without a machine?

Check out this link, if you Don’t Have an Ice Cream Machine , you can still make this delicious Pumpkin Gelato, substitute the coffee liqueur with pumpkin puree.

What is the difference between Gelato and Ice cream?

Gelato has little more milk than cream, and it can have eggs or no eggs at all. And it is churned at a slower rate, which incorporates less air leaving Gelato denser than ice cream.

So this Thanksgiving why not give Pumpkin Gelato a try. Enjoy!

      For the cream in the pumpkin gelato recipe, can I use half & half or carnation evaporated milk? Not sure what cream meant. Thank you. Mariana

        Hi Marina, you really should use a heavy cream with at least 30% fat. I have never made it with the ones you mention. Take care!

      Do you have a recipe for Gelato that does not require a machine? Is ths a recipe that could be blended and then frozen and get the same results?

        Hi SusanBeth, I do have a recipe for a no churn ice cream https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/cappuccino-ice-cream/ , which would probably work if you substitute the coffee liqueur with pumpkin puree. Hope that helps.

      Can I do this without using an ice cream maker? I do own one yet?

      A good basic recipe. I did find I needed to add a small amount of pumkin spices – ginger, cloves, nutmeg in addition to the cinnamon. I also added some salt. We served it with some candied pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup. Delish. Thank you.

      Also, it does only make a small batch, so if lots of guests at thanksgiving-
      Double up.

      Ooooooh my goodness, this looks absolutely AMAZING! I love pumpkin desserts…but not really pumpkin pie. (All other kinds of pie, strangely enough, I LOVE.) I’m totally making this for dessert for our warm Thanksgiving dinner here in Phoenix!
