This creamy Pumpkin Pecan Frozen Yogurt blends the rich flavors of pumpkin, warm fall spices, and crunchy toasted pecans for a delightful homemade treat that’s perfect for autumn!

  • Total Time: 3 hours (including freezing)
  • Yield: : 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors to meld and ensures the mixture is thoroughly chilled, which is crucial for achieving a creamy texture in the final product.
  3. Churn the Yogurt: After chilling, pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically for about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
  4. Add Pecans: During the last 5 minutes of churning, add the toasted pecans to the yogurt mixture.
  5. Freeze Before Serving: Transfer the churned yogurt to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.
  6. Enjoy: Once firm, scoop the Pumpkin Pecan Frozen Yogurt into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade, fall-inspired treat!
