Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar until smoothly combined, creating a rich autumnal base.
- Transfer the pumpkin mixture to a blender, adding vanilla ice cream, whole milk, and heavy cream.
- Pulse the blender on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the milkshake reaches a creamy, consistent texture with no visible lumps.
- Pour the milkshake into a tall chilled glass, ensuring an even distribution of the vibrant orange-hued liquid.

Notes
- Customize spice levels by adjusting pumpkin pie spice to suit personal taste preferences.
- Substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives for a vegan-friendly version, using coconut or almond milk ice cream.
- Enhance texture by freezing pumpkin puree mixture in ice cube trays before blending for an extra thick and creamy consistency.
- Use freshly ground cinnamon for a more intense and aromatic flavor profile compared to pre-ground spices.
