    If pumpkin season is your favorite time of year, this Pumpkin Pie Milkshake is a must-make. It has all the cozy flavors of pumpkin pie blended into a creamy milkshake that comes together in about 10 minutes.

    It's the perfect fall dessert for everything from an afternoon treat to Thanksgiving weekend. Top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra special finish.

    Ingredients

    You'll only need a few simple ingredients:

    • Pumpkin puree – Be sure to use 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
    • Vanilla ice cream – Use your favorite brand.
    • Pumpkin pie spice – Store-bought or homemade both work well.
    • Milk – Adjust the amount for your preferred consistency.
    • Maple syrup – Optional, for a little extra sweetness.
    • Whipped cream – Optional, for serving.

    How to make

    1. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla ice cream, milk, and pumpkin pie spice to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
    2. Taste the milkshake and add maple syrup if you'd like it a little sweeter. If it's too thick, blend in a splash of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
    3. Pour into chilled glasses and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice before serving.

    Recipe Tips

    • Double-check that you're using 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
    • Start with less milk and add more as needed for a thicker or thinner milkshake.
    • Chill your serving glasses for an extra-cold treat. Serve immediately for the best texture.

    Variations

    • Sprinkle with cinnamon or extra pumpkin pie spice.
    • Top with chopped toasted pecans or walnuts.
    • Drizzle with caramel sauce or maple syrup.
    • Make it dairy-free by using your favorite plant-based vanilla ice cream and milk.
