This Caramel Pumpkin Milkshake is a great dessert for the time of year when you’re ready to break out the pumpkin treats, but those Indian Summers call for an easy milkshake recipe to cool you down.
Pumpkin Milkshake
There’s just one thing you need to know about this milkshake: it’s amazing! And, it’s easy!
It’s a great in-between treat for summer and fall, and basically tastes like a pumpkin pie in milkshake form! Except without all the pie crust making and baking.
The caramel pumpkin milkshake is super simple to make. Throw a few common ingredients in a blender and you have the best treat of the month.
If you like adding something a bit extra to your recipe like I do, I recommend making your own caramel sauce from scratch. It’s 10 times better than any you will get in a jar from the grocery store.
But, if you’re not quite up to that adventure, caramel from a jar will work just fine. Other than that, a bit of ice cream, milk, and pumpkin will do the trick for this refreshing treat.
Pumpkin Milkshake Recipe
Place all ingredients, except the whipped cream, into the blender. Blend until smooth. If it is too thick, add milk and blend again. Pour into two glasses and top with whipped cream.
