Oh my…tis the season for pumpkin pie, and this shake is the perfect alternative to the traditional pie :). I’ve been seeing a fast food restaurant advertise for these little shakes and since I don’t live close to town I can’t just hop on over and get one. So what’s a girl to do…well, of course, make my own. It’s a surprise to your taste buds at how much this shake tastes like the pie, minus the texture. If you want to make someone happy who loves pumpkin pie then treat them to this ice cream shake, I promise they will love it.
Pumpkin Pie Shake
vanilla ice cream (5 scoops)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup canned pumpkin
2 T. honey
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 whole sheets of graham crackers or ginger snaps to taste
Directions:
Step 1: Put all the ingredients into a blender and turn on to blend. If you prefer the shake thicker then use 3/4 cup of milk. Garnish with whipped cream and cinnamon.
Serves: 2
Happy Halloween!! I thought I would share with you some fun pictures of the family dressed up for Halloween. My husband is such a sport and was a nerd, it came quite naturally :). The kids were the obvious mummy; my daughter was “me” 25 years ago, which was a pretty good resemblance. The cousins up at the top were Hans Solo, Robot, and a skeleton weren’t they just adorable? I was a preppy girl with the 80’s style glasses plus an outfit of khaki slacks and turtle neck complete with penny loafers.
I’ll have a shake this afternoon, please! Love the family photos! So cute!
Ohhh…pumpkin pie in a glass! Seriously, this sounds absolutely delicious. Cute family Halloween photos, too!
I like the graham crackers added to the shake. I’ll bet that’s great! I love the costume pictures. Your husband cracks me up! He IS a good sport.
We have a Sonic and their uber tempting Pumpkin Pie Shake right next door – this would certainly hit the spot without the guilt!
I would be so in trouble is Sonic was next door to me!!
Love the nerd! I guess you do too. 🙂
Yah, your right I do the love the nerd too :). I showed him the picture I put up and it said “oh, thanks a lot!” 🙂
Ok…I need one of these now!!! So delicious and totally perfect for fall…yum!
What a yummy treat – especially when you can’t eat the real thing but crave those flavors! Your family is so cute!!
Oh, your family looks wonderful in their costumes! And just as wonderful are your pumpkin shakes…how delish!
This looks seriously delicious! I love your photo too!
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a pumpkin shake more than I do now. Looks fantastic!
What a unique flavor for milkshake! It’s so perfect for the season though. 🙂 Take care and have a great weekend. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Thanks Amy, hope your weekend is wonderful too.
I have been wanting to make a pumpkin milkshake. Your post reminds me that I need to get on it sooner instead of later, thanks for sharing 🙂 Love that your hubby played along. I love nerds too — I married one 🙂
