My notes
Tips
- Use plain pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling. No canned pumpkin? Roast butternut squash until soft, blend it smooth and use the same weight.
- No pumpkin pie spice? Use ¾ tsp cinnamon and a pinch each of ground ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
- For a gluten-free rim, use gluten-free biscuits and check the label. Want the shake thinner? Add 2–4 tbsp cold milk and run Re-spin.
Why it works
Pumpkin purée is thick with fiber, so it adds body without turning icy, and brown sugar and cream cheese keep the base soft and rich like pie filling.
