Chef's Pro-Tips
- Chill the Pumpkin Puree: Use the puree straight from the fridge. Room-temperature pumpkin thins the shake; cold puree keeps it thick and frosty.
- Drizzle the Glass First: Swirl the caramel sauce inside the empty glasses before pouring. Stirred into the blender it disappears — on the glass it gives you those pretty stripes.

Yes. Swap in your favorite dairy-free vanilla ice cream and a plant milk. The pumpkin puree and spice carry the flavor either way.
Blend in a splash more milk to thin it, or add another scoop of ice cream to thicken. Adjust a little at a time until it pours the way you like.
Stick with canned puree, chilled. Fresh pumpkin would need to be cooked, pureed, and cooled first, and the texture is less consistent for a shake.
It is best served immediately. A milkshake starts melting and separating within minutes, so blend right before you plan to drink it.
