    Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream and Brownie Parfait | The Healthy Family and Home

    Today, I have for you a Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream and Brownie Parfait that is 100% delicious!

    Gluten-Free Vegan Pumpkin Ice Cream and Brownie Parfait

    Why make just plain, boring pumpkin ice cream when you can layer it with fudgy brownie crumbles?

    The entire recipe can be made in about 30 minutes and the only equipment you need to make this dreamy dessert is an ice cream maker and a Vitamix.

    You can actually make this with or without an ice cream maker (no-churn method), but I always make it with an ice cream maker because I love the soft-serve texture.

    Once you get your ice cream in the machine, you can start on the brownies and they will both ready right about the same time.

    While the pumpkin ice cream and brownies are each good by themselves, the combination together is amazing!

    The entire recipe is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, flourless, egg-free, paleo-friendly, and contains no refined sugars.

    Yield 2 - 4 servings

    Vegan / Gluten-Free / Dairy-Free / Grain-Free / Flourless / Egg-Free / Paleo-Friendly / No Refined Sugar

    Ingredients

    For the ice cream:

    • 1 can organic full-fat coconut milk (13.5 ounce can)
    • 1 can organic pumpkin (15 ounce can)
    • 1/2 cup organic maple syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon organic vanilla bean powder
    • 1 teaspoon organic pumpkin spice

    For the brownies:

    • 1/2 cup organic almond butter
    • 1/2 cup organic maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup organic raw cacao powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
    • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon organic ground flax + 3 tablespoons water)

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Prepare the brownies:

    1. Prepare the flax egg:  Add the ground flax and purified/filtered water to a small bowl and whisk together.  Set aside.
    2. Add all ingredients for the brownies (including the flax egg) to a small bowl and stir until well combined.
    3. Transfer to an 8 x 8 baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they are fully baked.  Allow to cool completely before using, they will firm up once they've cooled.

    Prepare the ice cream:

    1. Add all ingredients for the ice cream to a Vitamix and blend until it's creamy and smooth.  Adjust the spices and/or sweetener to your preference.
    2. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and make according to your machine's directions.

    Assembly:

    1. Once the brownies have cooled off and the ice cream is ready to come out of the ice cream maker, add 1-2 tablespoons of crumbled brownies to the bottom of your serving bowl(s), then add 2-3 scoops of ice cream on top, then another 1-2 tablespoons of crumbled brownies, then another 2-3 tablespoons of ice cream.  
    2. Garnish with crumbled brownies.
    3. Enjoy!

      Is the icecream maker you have linked to have a stainless steel bowl which the icecream is made in or is it plastic? Thanks!

        Hi there Leslie! You know, I've never thought about it until you mentioned it. I am very, very proactive on avoiding non-stick and aluminum products but it never crossed my mind with my ice cream maker as I always assumed it was stainless steel. However, I looked up the model I linked to (they don't make the model I have anymore but I think it has the same inner container and stirring mechanism as the updated version I linked to) and from the comments it appears to have neither stainless steel or plastic - but aluminum 🙁

        While I avoid aluminum baking and cooking pans because they will be heated, I'm not ~as~ concerned because the ice cream maker never gets heated but it still concerns me and would choose something else if there were a better option.

        I make homemade ice cream recipes with and without the ice cream maker, but I guess for now on I will just make with without since I didn't see a reasonably priced one with a stainless steel inner container.

        Unfortunately, I have 3 more ice cream recipes already scheduled to be posted using an ice cream maker but I think going forward I will just share recipes that don't need an ice cream maker.

        Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention! I, just like everyone else, am continually learning and making changes as I go to make the healthiest choices possible 🙂

      I'm curious why you're not using the frozen dessert setting on the Vita-mix and opting for the ice cream making to chill this. I am currently researching Vita-mix for just this purpose so I was really curious as I read through this recipe. This recipe sounds so yummy I hope to try it soon!

        Hi there Heidi! I've had my Vitamix for over 7 years now and the model I use is an older model and doesn't have a frozen dessert setting.

        I would love to be able to use that setting and save a step but my faithful Vitamix has been so good to me, I haven't had a need to upgrade to a newer model!

        Thanks for the question and I hope you enjoy the recipe if you give it a try 😉

        Hi there Jennifer! Oops...my bad! That might be helpful to know, right? I used an 8 x 8 glass dish to make them. You won't be cutting them into normal square brownies, but will be breaking them up into brownie crumbles to sprinkle over the ice cream. And, you might have a little bit left over to enjoy!

        Thank you for the question and I'll go update the recipe with that information..thanks 😉
