Leftover Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

Are you a pumpkin spice lover? Drop everything and make this over-the-top delicious milkshake using a big slice of pumpkin pie (yes, the whole thing)! If you've ever needed an excuse to bake a pumpkin pie (besides Thanksgiving) and don't have any leftover right now - this is it. In fact, if you're buying a pie from the store - grab two so you have enough for these easy & creamy milkshakes!

Put on your comfiest stretchy pants cause things are about to get real cozy.
Especially if you love...

1) milkshakes

2) pumpkin pie

3) burying every slice of pumpkin pie under a mound of whipped cream (the logical thing to do).

If you said yes to any of the above, then you NEED this pumpkin pie milkshake in your life ASAP. (Lemony Strawberry Shortcake Milkshakes, too!)

 Self-care's important, ya know?

I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say it's glorious. 

Imagine a milkshake that's uber creamy, thick, and not too sweet with plenty of vanilla bean + pumpkin pie spice flavors AND even small chunks of actual pumpkin pie. 

Sounds heavenly, right?

This stuff-of-dreams pumpkin pie milkshake is inspired by the pumpkin pie concrete from Andy's Frozen Custard. I ordered this seasonal drink a few years back & knew I needed to re-make it at home (once I had the necessary pie on hand - Thanksgiving to the rescue). 

As much as I love a good slice of custard pie (pumpkin or sweet potato) with lots of whipped cream on top, the milkshake form is just...superior. 

I  mean, it has ice cream! Any time you a la mode a dessert it's instantly better. Like a homemade beer float, for example. Or ice cream cookie sandwiches.

I'm not saying to ditch the traditional pie for milkshakes. 

Heck no. 

What I encourage you to do instead is bake an extra pie while you're at it OR just buy one of those ginormous ones from the store (like Costco) so you have leftover slices to try this recipe. 

Trust me, it's worth it! 

Add it to your list of things to make on a cool fall evening or the day after your Thanksgiving feast when you're looking for creative ways to use leftovers. 

Even better? This milkshake recipe is very flexible so feel free to use whatever substitutions you want so it fits your dietary needs or cravings at the time. 

There are SO many choices when it comes to milk and ice cream these days (local, grass-fed, dairy-free, low-carb, etc.), so the sky's the limit!

For example, this time around I used a goat's milk ice cream, unsweetened almond milk, and homemade maple-sweetened whipped cream. 

TIP: If you have extra whipped cream on hand after making these, save it for strawberry shortcake & lemon curd parfaits or homemade hot chocolate. They're both amazing!

Leftover Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

Prep time: 5 MinTotal time: 5 Min

An over-the-top delicious homemade milkshake recipe using a big slice of pumpkin pie (yes, the whole thing)! If you've ever needed an excuse to bake a pumpkin pie (besides Thanksgiving) and don't have any leftover right now - this is it!

Ingredients

• 1 big slice of pumpkin pie (5-6 inches)
• 1 cup of vanilla bean ice cream (dairy or dairy-free), divided
• 3+ tablespoons of milk (enough to blend - dairy or dairy-free)
• 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice (get my homemade recipe here)

For Garnish (optional):

• whipped cream (dairy or dairy-free - get my homemade recipe here)
• vanilla-infused sugar (get my homemade recipe here)
• extra pumpkin pie spice
• chopped candied pecans

Instructions

1. Add the pumpkin pie, 1/2 the ice cream, the milk, and pumpkin pie spice in a blender. Pulse a few times until just blended (we don't want it too liquidy). 
2. Add the other 1/2 of the ice cream and mash into the shake with a spoon until it's mostly mixed in (this gives the milkshake some thickness).
3. Pour the pumpkin pie milkshake into one or two glasses (depending on how many you're serving), garnish with plenty of whipped cream, and top with a few sprinkles of vanilla sugar + a pinch or two of pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately while cold.
