This milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. Just kidding!
What's fun about this treat is you can use a store-bought pumpkin pie and it's super easy to whip up a big batch of these for friends. Or you can use a homemade pumpkin pie (maybe the left over few pieces) and enjoy this sweet and decadent dessert.
We made our own pumpkin pie (first one of the season) and my kitchen instantly smelled like autumn. I used a slightly adapted version of Paula Deen's recipe. The only changes I made were to use 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 brown sugar (instead of just 1 cup of sugar, I like the added flavor of using some brown sugar). And I used 2 eggs instead of 1 egg + 2 egg yolks (I thought this didn't seem necessary, and in my opinion the pie turned out great!).
Once you've made your pie let is cool for a few hours or overnight. To make a single milkshake blend together 1 slice of pumpkin pie, 2 cups vanilla ice cream and 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk. If you are making multiple milkshakes at once simply double or triple this recipe to suit your guest list.

This looks so delicious and is an awesome idea! I can't wait to eat everything pumpkin flavored once the weather cools down.

I've never had pumpkin pie (it's not something you get in England), but I really like the sound of it.

I fell in love with this idea the moment I saw it! However I didn't have a pumpkin pie at hand, and was too lazy to bake one, so I improvised. I put French Vanilla Ice cream, milk, Pumpkin Pie filling (from the can~so un-classy, but it worked) and a pinch of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. I topped each glass with a dollop of whip cream...yummy!
