Your favorite fall drink, the pumpkin spice latte, turned into a fun milkshake! Complete with pumpkin, spice, coffee and ice cream, you’ll love this treat!
Are you a pumpkin spice latte fanatic? I definitely am, but sometimes, I want a cold treat with those classic Fall flavors. This milkshake has it all… pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, coffee and vanilla ice cream!
Okay guys, here it comes. The great divider of men and women… no, not politics, not sports, but it all comes down to, are you a pumpkin spice lover, or not? I just love that flavor!
There’s one treat that I love, but don’t get too often because the nearest coffee place that shall remain nameless (it’s logo is green and white lol), isn’t all that close to me… the pumpkin spice latte. Those flavors just call to me, and I crave it often!
I’m also the kind of person who is hot like 99% of the time. So while I love that pumpkin pie spice flavor, I don’t always want something hot to drink.
Which brings me to this beautiful concoction… the pumpkin spice latte milkshake!!! I found it in an old taste of home magazine and made some adaptations and wow… let’s just say, I drink more of these than I should!
I mean, just look at that frosty awesomeness!! To me, it tastes just like you took a famous PSL (pumpkin spice latte for those of you not obsessed like I am), and blended with vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for an afternoon pick me up, or use decaf coffee for an evening dessert treat!
You could even add a splash of some kind of booze (like vodka maybe?) and make it an adult milkshake!
The whipped cream and extra cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice is optional, but ohhhhh so good you guys. Especially when it starts to melt down into the milkshake and it gets even creamier than it was before. I’m craving it right now!
Obviously this isn’t a diet-friendly kind of drink, but there are a few ways you could cut down on the sugar.
You could use sugar-free or no additional sugar added ice cream, and omit the granulated sugar in the pumpkin mixture.
I’ve never made this with anything other than whole milk, but I’m sure it would work fine with other types of milk as well, if that’s what you prefer.
The next time you’re craving some pumpkin spice flavor, but don’t want a hot drink, give this milkshake a try! They’d be perfect for just about any occasion.

Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- heaping 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

the decaf coffee you discussed about, i have a question, i’m not sensitive to caffeine and i know it is for those who are sensitive…and i drink 4 cups of coffee a day. Do you think drinking decaf will have any side-effect because of a sudden caffeine withdrawal?

Hahaha – the great divider! That really is kind of true, though, isn’t it?!? Well, I’m all in for pumpkin spice, and I adore a good latte … so the milkshake looks amazing! (Of course, it helps that your photos are gorgeous, too! 🙂 ) Oh my goodness … I’m so totally craving this right now!
