Ingredient Notes

This recipe is made with simple ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store. It’s perfect for the holiday season!

Vanilla Ice Cream – Use good quality vanilla ice cream to make this recipe. You can also use pumpkin ice cream for an even stronger pumpkin flavor. You can also use a non-dairy vanilla ice cream.

Whole Milk – We like whole milk because it adds a very creamy texture.

Pumpkin Puree – Pure, canned pumpkin work perfectly for making milkshakes.

Pumpkin Pie Spice – We love our homemade version of pumpkin spice but you can also use store-bought pumpkin pie spice too.

Bourbon – If you’re making milkshakes for adults add in bourbon! It adds so much flavor it’s delicious! You can also leave this out too.

How To Make A Pumpkin Milkshake

• Add all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

• Line the inside of a glass with caramel sauce.

• Pour the milkshake into the glass and top with whipped cream and a tiny slice of pumpkin pie!

• We used a store-bought pumpkin pie to make small slices to top our milkshakes with.

Tips for Making a Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

• Use a powerful blender to make the milkshake super smooth. We use a Vitamix, expensive but worth the investment.

• If the milkshake is watery, add a scoop of ice or more ice cream and blend. 

• If the milkshake is too thick, add a little more milk.

• Leave out the bourbon if you want a non-alcoholic milkshake.

• Make this dairy-free by using dairy-free ice cream and a milk substitute like almond milk or coconut milk.

• Add a little maple syrup for extra sweetness and flavor.

Milkshake Toppings

• Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel.

• Add graham cracker crumbs over the top for some crunch.

• Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the top for extra fall flavors.

• For a fun presentation, garnish with a mini slice of pie. 

• You could also use pumpkin spice marshmallows or even pumpkin spice M&Ms!
