A Quick Break

...from the Smart, Pretty, & Awkward posts to give you guys a recipe that my sweet roommate and I tried a couple weekends ago. Of course we found it on Pinterest, and then adapted a little bit to fit our personal qualifications.

Bourbon Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

(I know, I know...a recipe for a milkshake? Milk + ice cream + shake, right? But you know, if you're going to add some liquor...that calls for a recipe. Am I right or am I right?)

2 cups vanilla ice cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
2/3 cup pureed pumpkin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 ground graham cracker crumbs
2-3 ounces of bourbon

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend together well. Makes about 4 servings (depending on serving size!).


Complicated, right? But for real. They are de-lish. Except they are pretty sweet, so it can be a little heavy! Just a fair warning! ...oh, and there's a couple shots of bourbon in there too. Be wary of that.

Happy fall!
