Start off fall right – with pumpkin cannoli ice cream! This easy no-churn ice cream takes just like a pumpkin cannoli or at least what I think a pumpkin cannoli would taste like.
I am a true believer of ice cream and its application year round. To prove my point I made a seasonal ice cream using pumpkin! It’s also super easy to make and does not require an ice cream maker, which means you have no excuses not to make this.
The flavor is pumpkin cannoli and while I have never actually tasted a pumpkin cannoli before I bet it tastes just like this ice cream, minus the cold factor. My favorite part is the crispy roasted pepitas which is why I sprinkled even more over the top.

Ingredients:
2 cups (1 pint) heavy cream
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

Directions:
- In a large, chilled bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate large bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, ricotta, pumpkin, vanilla, and spices.

- Pour ice cream into a loaf pan or freezer-safe container, wrap with plastic warp or tin foil and freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve topped with additional chocolate chips, shells/cookies, or pepitas.

Just to confirm, this has 4 cups of heavy cream? This sounds great but most no churn Ice Creams have 2 cups of heavy cream only.
Thanks!
Whoops that was a typo with the second listing of 2 cups of heavy cream. Thanks for catching that!
You’re so creative :) Pinning!!
Aw thanks!
