Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 ice cream maker or blender
  • 1 freezer-safe container

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup maple syrup Can substitute honey if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped Can top with extra pecans before serving.
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans gently with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  • If using an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for about 20-25 minutes or until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour it into a freezer-safe container and freeze for 3-4 hours or until firm. Stir the mixture every hour during freezing for better texture if blended.
  • Once the yogurt is frozen, scoop into bowls and serve immediately, or return to the freezer for longer storage.
  • Allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
  • Optionally, top with extra pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Allow the frozen yogurt to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it easier to scoop.
You can substitute honey for maple syrup if desired, but this may alter the flavor a bit.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and ensure other ingredients are also dairy-free.
Top with extra pecans or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving for added flavor and texture.
