It captures all the cozy, spiced flavors of a classic pumpkin pie—without the baking!

You might already have everything you need in your kitchen! All it takes is pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla ice cream, milk, and graham cracker crumbs. The pumpkin puree brings that rich, earthy flavor, while the spice blend adds warmth and depth. Vanilla ice cream and milk create a silky-smooth base, and graham cracker crumbs mimic the pie crust for that authentic pie experience.

Instructions for Easy Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Start by grabbing your blender and adding the key ingredients: vanilla ice cream, milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Blend everything together until the mixture is silky smooth—like a sip of autumn in a glass. If you prefer a thinner milkshake, feel free to add a little more milk and blend again until it reaches your desired consistency. You can allow for a thicker milkshake with a high-powered blender.
Once blended, gently stir in the graham cracker crumbs using a spatula. This step adds that classic pie-crust texture and flavor, giving the milkshake its signature pumpkin pie twist.
Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses and finish with your favorite fall-inspired garnishes. A swirl of whipped cream, a dash of cinnamon, or even a crumbled cookie on top will take this treat to the next level. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, spiced goodness!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?
It’s best to use plain pumpkin puree. Pumpkin pie filling contains added sugar and spices, which can throw off the flavor balance of the milkshake.
What kind of milk works best?
Whole milk gives the creamiest texture, but you can use any milk you prefer—almond, oat, or even coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can blend the base and store it in the fridge for up to a few hours. Just give it a quick stir before serving.
What can I use instead of graham cracker crumbs?
Any fall-inspired cookie works well—try Biscoff, gingersnaps, or even snickerdoodles for a fun twist.
Is whipped cream necessary?
Not at all! It’s optional but adds a festive touch and enhances the pumpkin pie vibe.
