Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

Serves 1

Ingredients

  • 1 standard serving slice leftover pumpkin pie (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup vanilla ice cream
  • 3/4 cup full-fat milk

Optional to finish

  • Whipped cream
  • Additional pie crust crumbs
  • Sprinkles

Method

  1. In a blender combine the pie slice, ice cream and milk
  2. Blend at high speed until just combined. I prefer a slightly smooth shake with some pieces of pie crust left for texture. If you prefer a smoother shake texture, blend together for a longer period of time
  3. Decant into a milkshake glass and top with whipped cream and, if using, additional pie crust crumbs and sprinkles
  4. Sip and enjoy!
