• 4 cups vanilla ice cream (about 10 scoops) – The creamy base of the milkshake.
• 1/3 cup whole milk – To thin out the milkshake and make it drinkable.
• 8 ounces apple pie – Leftover apple pie works great for this recipe, or use a fresh slice.

How to Make an Apple Pie Milkshake

Making this Apple Pie Milkshake couldn’t be easier. Follow these simple steps to blend up a creamy, indulgent treat!

Step 1: Whip the Cream

Start by placing the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl if you’re using a hand mixer. Whip the mixture on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should only take about 3-4 minutes. Set the whipped cream aside for later.

Step 2: Blend the Milkshake

In a high-powered blender, combine the vanilla ice cream, milk, half of the whipped cream, apple pie, and apple pie spice. Blend on high until smooth and well combined. This is where the magic happens! The ice cream and apple pie come together to create a thick, creamy base with just the right amount of pie flavor.

Step 3: Serve and Garnish

Divide the milkshake into four glasses. Top each glass with a generous amount of the remaining whipped cream. Feel free to get creative here—add a sprinkle of cinnamon, apple slices, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor. Enjoy your Apple Pie Milkshake immediately!

Pro Tip: For an extra touch of indulgence, garnish with crushed pie crust on top for that crunchy texture that pairs so perfectly with the smooth milkshake.

Tips for the Best Apple Pie Milkshake

• Use Fresh or Leftover Apple Pie: If you have leftover apple pie from Thanksgiving or any other meal, this is a great way to use it up. If you don’t have leftover pie, simply use a freshly baked slice. The flavor will be just as amazing!
• Adjust the Sweetness: If you like your milkshake sweeter, add a bit more powdered sugar to the whipped cream or even a drizzle of honey into the milkshake itself.
• Make it Healthier: You can use low-fat vanilla ice cream or non-dairy milk to make the milkshake a bit lighter if needed.
• Toppings Galore: For extra flair, top with things like cinnamon sugar, toffee bits, or whipped cream sprinkled with a pinch of nutmeg.
