  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)
  • Sweetener of choice to taste (maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar)

Optional Garnishes

  • Caramel sauce
  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg

  • Vanilla protein powder for added protein boost
  • Almond or peanut butter for nutty notes

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Make sure you have fresh pumpkin puree, vanilla ice cream, milk, your chosen spices, and sweetener ready to go—the better the quality, the tastier the shake.
  2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine 1 cup vanilla ice cream, ½ cup milk, ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and your preferred sweetener to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Give your milkshake a taste and add more sweetener or spices if desired, blending again briefly to mix.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for that perfect final touch.

Notes

  • Use cold ingredients to ensure your shake is thick, chilled, and refreshing.
  • Blend thoroughly to avoid lumps and achieve the best texture.
  • Experiment with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to find your preferred flavor balance.
  • Don’t overdo sweeteners as pumpkin puree has natural sweetness.
  • For thicker shakes, add more ice cream or reduce milk slightly.
