Leftover Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie Milkshake
Pumpkin pie milkshake – an incredibly delicious and easy milkshake recipe to help use up leftover pumpkin pie from Thanksgiving!
This milkshake recipe is so wrong. But so, so right.
Hopefully you all have some leftover slices of pumpkin pie (or really…any pie!) from your Thanksgiving Day feast, because this pumpkin pie milkshake needs to happen.
The ingredients are so simple: pumpkin pie, ice cream, milk. Add whipped cream and a sprinkling of crumbled pie crust. Done.
I originally had this idea a few weeks ago–and could barely wait to share it with you all today. Well, the time has finally arrived.
After all, why eat your leftover pumpkin pie like a normal person when you can drink it in milkshake form like a champ?
If you can’t already tell, this isn’t your average “pumpkin pie” milkshake. It’s not made with milk, yogurt, pumpkin puree, spices, and the usual suspects.
Those are faux pumpkin pie milkshakes. This is the real deal. It’s made with pie.
Literal pie.
As in, you’re going to throw a slice of pumpkin pie (crust and all) into the blender, along with some vanilla ice cream, and a little bit of milk just to smooth things out a bit–and blend it all up together.
Try to keep a little bit of texture from the pie crust in there–that part was my favorite!
Feel free to take things one step farther and top it all off with whipped cream and crumbled pie crust. And maybe even a little chunk of pie as an extra garnish.
I mean, you’ve already come all this way, why not trash it up more? This milkshake deserves it.
This milkshake is exactly how it sounds. Decadent, creamy, full of pumpkin flavor, and basically just all around awesome. It still sort of blows my mind.
P.S. I happened to make this milkshake with leftover [caramel!] pumpkin pie, but I’m almost positive that it would be just as delicious with leftover apple pie (although the consistency might be different).
Break out the stretchy pants again guys, because you’re going to need them…

Absolutely delicious! I froze the rest of my pumpkin pie for a later milkshake… which I think will work out really well with it being frozen 🙂
Ok, done. I know what I’m making and consuming the day after Thanksgiving. Wow, oh wow. Thank you for this!
I would love to use for a Thanksgiving leftover round up. Please let me know if it’s okay. Thanks.
This.sounds.amazing. I’m going to save a piece of pie tomorrow just for this purpose!!
This sounds so good. Dessert to make more dessert!
I totally made this pie in order to make this milkshake. You know you’re a food blogger when…. 🙂
This is wrong and so right in all the right ways!! So creative!
Thanks so much Zainab! Couldn’t agree more with you 😉
Awwwww hell yes, mama! These look amazing!!!
I don’t know whether to be sad or excited that we have leftover pumpkin pie! So making this!!!
Excited!!! Definitely excited, haha. Thanks Lauren!
Stretchy pants, here I come! Because this is right up my alley.
That is seriously one gorgeous shake!
Thanks so much Jocelyn!!
Absolutely brilliant – although I’m not sure I could give up even one piece of a pumpkin pie that looks that great!
Shucks, thank you Beth!
Giiiiiirl, you are a genius!! LOVE.
Thanks so much Katrina! 🙂 Hope you are having a great weekend!
I love that you put ACTUAL pumpkin pie in this baby. Way to go girl! 🙂 pinned
Thanks so much Averie! Couldn’t help myself 😉
LIQUID GOLD. It’s hard for me to imagine having leftover pie at all, but if I had any, this would be the first thing to make. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Haha! 🙂 Thanks so much Irina! Hope you did too!
Genius, girl! I already have my stretchy pants on so this is happening soonest. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving 🙂
Hehe!! 🙂 Just tell yourself it’s for the baby! That’s a fun excuse.
How did the pie come out so orange? Is it sweet potato? No, must be pumpkin!
This is really something! unfortunately I have no leftover pie! But I would love to give this a try! What an incredibly delicious and original idea! I am very interested in what the texture is like! Thanks, Laura!
OMG….I’m all over this!!! We actually didn’t have any pumpkin pie yesterday (I know!), but this is totally how I’ll be using the rest of my apple pie!
YAY!!! 🙂 The pie gods will be very happy with this decision, haha.
Oh how I wish I had some pumpkin pie just to make this. It’s probably good that I don’t. I’d be in real trouble.
Haha!! That might be true. I’m positive that it could work with all sorts of pies 😉
Love absolutely everything about this, and I’m staring down half a leftover pumpkin pie as I type! I could get myself into real trouble with this . . . but I love it. 🙂
I know…after I made the milkshake, I was like “this needs whipped cream….and more pie crust crumbles”. I mean, at this point, I don’t think we have a lot to lose! 🙂 Might as well go all out. Thanks Meg!
AWESOME!! I have a whole pumpkin pie leftover and I will be making a lot of these today! Enjoy the weekend, Laura!
Yay, yay!!! Let me know if you ended up trying them. I think I’m always going to save leftover pumpkin pie for this purpose. I sorta liked it even more than just the pie by itself, haha. Have a great weekend Tieghan! Loved your waffle sandwich this morning.
fantastic idea! But I giggled a little when you recommended low fat milk:)
HA! That was a little ridiculous now that I think about it. Kind of like ordering Diet Coke at McDonalds? 🙂 Any milk will work, of course.
I understand it – a habit that’s hard to break!:)
