  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons homemade or store-bought pumpkin pie spice*
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup for added depth and richness
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg for a warming spice note)

Gingersnap Cookie Crust

  • 1 and 1/2 cups 180g crushed gingersnap cookies*
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup 4 Tbsp; 56g melted unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Pumpkin Swirl Mix

  • Start by gathering a mixing bowl and adding in your pumpkin puree. It’s like the canvas for your masterpiece. Then, sprinkle in that granulated sugar. The granules will dissolve nicely as you mix, lending sweetness to the overall flavor.

Step 2: Add the Spices

  • Next, toss in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg. As you stir, the aroma will waft through the air. It’s truly one of the best parts—those spices awaken the senses! Give it a good mix until everything is combined.

Step 3: Whip in the Cream

  • Now comes the fun part: adding the heavy cream. This step is crucial; you want that velvety texture. I often use an electric mixer on medium speed for about a minute. The goal is to create a smooth, creamy swirl that’s easy to pour into your cup.

Step 4: Mix with Milk

  • In another container, combine the whole milk and vanilla extract. Then, slowly pour this mixture into your pumpkin cream while whisking. This helps blend everything together perfectly.

Step 5: Final Blend

  • If you want, feel free to use an immersion blender at this point to get everything silky smooth—a delightful texture awaits!

Step 6: Serve Over Ice

  • Now, fill a glass with ice cubes, and carefully pour your pumpkin blend over the ice. You might lose a little bit of that warmth, but who says fall drinks have to be served hot?

Notes

  • Pumpkin Puree: Look for pure pumpkin puree for the best results. It has a rich flavor and smooth consistency.
  • Heavy Cream: This is the magic ingredient that makes the drink luscious and satisfying.
  • Granulated Sugar: Feel free to adjust the sugar level to your personal taste. Sometimes, I swap out half of the sugar for maple syrup for an interesting flavor twist.
