If you live where there is warm weather this time of year, but you still want to get into the festive fall spirit, this pumpkin milkshake is the perfect way to do just that. Created by Des and featured on the food blog Oh Sweet Basil, the pumpkin and chocolate chip shake combines a beloved autumnal flavor with classic chocolate.
The chocolatey pumpkin milkshake is extremely easy to make. All you need is whole milk, vanilla ice cream, pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling), cinnamon and chocolate chips to throw in your blender. For topping, you can add extra whipped cream and chocolate sauce drizzle, but that is optional. A fancy seasonal straw is also a good idea for serving.
