Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- ½ cup milk (adjust for desired consistency)
- ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice (or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, ground cinnamon, crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps
Instructions
- Add vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Taste and adjust flavor—add more spice or pumpkin to suit your preference.
- Pour into chilled glasses.
- Top with whipped cream, cinnamon, and crushed cookies if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk and non-dairy vanilla ice cream.
- Add a splash of bourbon or spiced rum for an adult twist.
- Use more ice cream or add ice cubes for a thicker shake.
- Freeze leftovers and re-blend for later.
- Avoid pumpkin pie filling—it contains extra sugar and spices that may overpower the shake.
