Ingredients
- Apple Pie – I like to save a slice of my homemade apple pie, but any apple pie will do.
- Vanilla Ice Cream – Any type of vanilla ice cream will do. Just make sure its on the harder side and not soupy and soft. This will prevent the milkshake from thickening up.
- Milk – I’ve used 2%, whole, and even half and half. I’ve never experimented with dairy-free/plant based milk, but I’m sure it will work.
- Spice – I like to use apple pie spice, but if you don’t have that on hand you can use a little ground cinnamon with a pinch of ground nutmeg.
Directions
- In a blender, place the apple pie, whole milk, vanilla ice cream, and apple pie spice. Blend for 20 seconds or until apple pie is blended.
- Pour into two glasses.
- Top with freshly made whipped cream, caramel sauce or even my Salted Maple Caramel Sauce, and pieces of pie crust crumbled.
- Enjoy the apple pie milkshake!
FAQs
Do not put ice in a milkshake. The ice will water down the milkshake making it too watery and thin.
A great way to thicken a milkshake is by adding heavy cream instead of milk to a milkshake. The spinning of the blender, will whip the cream helping make a thicker milkshake.
You have a few ways to sweeten a milkshake. It will be naturally sweet thanks to the milk and ice cream. For additional sweetness you can add chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, fruit compote, maple syrup, or even honey.
Tips & Tricks
Here are a few of my favorite tips and tricks I’ve found helpful when making this apple pie shake.
- Recipe Yields – 2.5 cups of milkshake. This gives me either 2 large 10 ounce milkshakes or 3 smaller milkshakes.
- Ice Cream – Make sure your ice cream is pretty solid. This will help keep it the thick milkshake like consistency.
- Substitutions – Substitute plant based ice cream and milk for a dairy free/vegan option.
- Spice – If you don’t have apple pie spice use ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg in place of the apple pie spice.
