Easy Pumpkin Spice Milkshake

You know that moment when fall really kicks in not just when the calendar says “Hey, it’s autumn” but when your hoodie starts to smell like bonfires and cinnamon suddenly feels like a lifestyle, That’s exactly when this milkshake comes in because it’s made for that cozy shift in the air.

I made this last week with my youngest and she insisted we add extra whipped cream since it’s “a holiday in a cup” which honestly isn’t wrong.

We were halfway through decorating the porch with those tiny pumpkins the ones that never rot yet somehow disappear by November so we thought, why not make something festive while we worked.

It’s creamy and cold yet full of those warm pumpkin spice vibes, plus there’s no baking involved so it’s easy to whip up anytime.
Seriously, have you ever had a milkshake that tastes like your favorite candle only this one’s edible and totally slurpable through a straw That’s what this shake is comforting and a little magical.

So if you’re craving something quick and sweet while also being perfectly seasonal, just pull out that blender because this is your sign to make it.

And no judgment if you drink two since I almost did myself.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Blender
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Spatula or spoon
• Two tall serving glasses
• Whisk “if making whipped cream”
• Ice cream scoop

Tips for

Use pumpkin pie spice mix: If you don’t have all the individual spices, one teaspoon of store bought pumpkin pie spice works perfectly.

Make it dairy free: replace milk and ice cream with almond, oat, or coconut versions for a vegan friendly treat.

Chill your glasses: pop your glasses in the freezer for 5–10 minutes before serving. It keeps the milkshake cold longer.

Add crunch: top with crushed graham crackers, cookies, or toasted nuts for a fun texture.

Extra creamy: use heavy cream instead of milk for an ultra-rich shake.

Turn it into dessert: pour the shake into a bowl and top it like a sundae with caramel, nuts, or chocolate chips.

What to Eat with Pumpkin Spice Milkshake ??

This milkshake tastes amazing with muffins, cinnamon rolls, or donuts. The warm spices blend beautifully with baked treats.

On warmer days, it’s a delightful and refreshing drink on its own. I like to add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for an extra treat.

Ingredients :

• For the Milkshake
• 1 cup vanilla ice cream “use more for a thicker shake”
• ½ cup pumpkin puree “not pumpkin pie filling”
• ½ cup milk “whole milk or any milk you like”
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice “or mix cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves”
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey “optional, for sweetness”
• For the Topping
• Whipped cream “store bought or homemade”
• Cinnamon or nutmeg for dusting
• Caramel drizzle “optional but delicious”

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Milkshake :

Step 1

First prepare the ingredients: measure out all the ingredients before starting. Make sure your pumpkin puree is chilled for a colder, thicker shake and blend the base: add vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree, milk, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and sugar “if using” into a blender.

Step 2

Second blend until smooth: turn on the blender and mix everything until the texture is creamy and even. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If you want it thicker, add more ice cream then taste test: try a small spoonful to check the flavor. Add more spice or sweetness if needed.

Step 3

Finally serve: pour the milkshake into tall glasses then add toppings: finish with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
