To keep the recipe vegan/dairy free use dairy free yogurt. To keep the recipe low carb/sugar free, use sugar free maple syrup. Here’s the recipe!
Crust Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
3 TBS maple syrup
Pumpkin Ice Cream Ingredients:
3/4 cup full fat yogurt of choice (see notes)
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1/3 cup maple syrup (see notes)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
In a large dish mix together your crust ingredients until a crust forms (I like to mix it into a ball).
Spread a sheet of parchment paper over a loaf pan and drop your crust “ball” onto the parchment paper.
Use a separate piece of parchment paper to spread and smooth out the crust with your hand until the crust is smooth and covers the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl combine your pumpkin ice cream ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Pour your creamy ice cream mixture over your prepared crust.
Optional — drizzle some yogurt onto the top of your ice cream mixture and sprinkle with cinnamon then gently swirl them in with a butter knife.
Place your dessert in the freezer for 4-5 hours, until fully hardened.
Remove your dessert from the freezer after it is hardened and slice into 8 squares.
Serve the ice cream bars immediately or continue to freeze until serving. Remove from the freezer several minutes before enjoying so they soften a bit.
Store in the freezer for 2-3 months.
