Pumpkin Spice Milkshake Recipe: the perfect treat for a warm fall day with creamy ice cream and warm pumpkin spices.
It’s the first weekend of fall, but it’s so hot outside that it feels like the height of summer! What do you do on a fall day that’s 30 degrees outside (86 for my American friends)? You make a Pumpkin Spice Milkshake to enjoy the flavours of fall and beat the heat. ;). This is the perfect way to enjoy a little bit of the classic pumpkin spice flavor that we just can't wait for combined with the great taste of creamy ice cream.
During this time of year, we love all things pumpkin. Pumpkin recipes are such a favorite that we wait all year for. This moist pumpkin ginger loaf with walnuts is one we love. This creamy pumpkin spice milkshake is the sweet treat for the fall season.
Pumpkin Puree
When your making your pumpkin spice milkshake, be sure to use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. The canned pumpkin pie filling has spices and sugar added. You can use canned pureed pumpkin for this recipe, or roast a pie pumpkin and make your own pumpkin puree. This is a great recipe to use if you have some leftover pumpkin pie ingredients like pumpkin puree to use up.
Toppings
This pumpkin spice milkshake is delicious on it's own. It's like a slice of pumpkin pie in a glass. But if you're a fan of pumpkin pie, why not add it to the top of the milkshake, or a few other fall inspired treats. We made ours into Extreme Shakes by adding lots of fun toppings and turning them into a full dessert! If you want to bring this drink to the next level for the pumpkin spice lover, you can add more toppings on top for extra pumpkin flavor.
We started out by dipping the empty rim of the glass into some melted chocolate, then we rolled sprinkled some cut up M&Ms on it, and some fall sprinkles. Let that sit before making your milkshake. Once it's set and you've added your milkshake you can add lots of toppings on top. A drizzle of caramel sauce would be a great starting point. Then we piled the glass with a maple filled donut, resting it on the rim. We added some whipped cream and maple cookie and then finished it all off with orange rock candy, some festive fall straws and more sprinkles. Adding cinnamon sticks would be a great option as well. They were so good! You could even go as far as to add a slice of pie if you wanted to. They don't call them extreme shakes for nothing!
