2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree

1/4 cup apple juice
Whipped cream
Cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions

3. Pour into chilled glasses.
4. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes
Serving: Pour into tall glasses; crown with extra whipped cream. Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup for a festive finish—great with autumn cookies or pie.
Storage: Best enjoyed right away. If needed, freeze leftovers up to 1–2 days; blend briefly before serving to restore creaminess.
Tips: Use high-quality vanilla ice cream; for a thicker shake, add more ice cream or reduce milk; adjust pumpkin and spice to taste.
Variation: Try caramel or maple ice cream; swirl in chocolate syrup; add nuts or cookie crumbles. Adult option: add 1–1.5 oz spiced rum or bourbon (drink responsibly).
FAQ:
– Fresh vs canned pumpkin? Fresh works—just blend until very smooth.
– Lower-calorie option? Use low-fat ice cream or a lighter milk (e.g., almond milk).
