By now I’m pretty sure you’ve all got your menus planned and preparations are taking place in order to prepared for the big Thanksgiving meal. So, I’m not going to talk to you about some recipe that you MUST make and place on your Thanksgiving table. No, that’s not what I want to talk about. Instead, I want to talk about the day after Thanksgiving.
No, not black Friday. Although, technically the day after Thanksgiving is black Friday, that’s not where I’m going with this. I want to talk to you about the day after and all that food you have leftover. I know, you can eat that Thanksgiving meal once, maybe twice after that actual big meal is actually consumed but after that it’s time to get creative.
So, I want to focus on desserts today. On Friday, you’ll be looking at a counter full of half eaten pies, cakes and cookies. What to do, oh what to do.
Well, I have a solution for you. Pumpkin pie milkshake. It’s so easy, so quick and oh-so-good! Now, I’m not trying to tell you how to make a basic milk shake. I know you are all capable of putting milk and ice cream in that blender and turning it on. I want to tell you how to jazz that milkshake up a bit.
Here ya go. Cut a slice of that pumpkin pie that’s staring you in the face, put it in the blender along with a few scoops of ice cream, milk, some bourbon if you dare and blend that puppy up. Pour it in a cup that’s rimmed with graham cracker crumbs and coated with caramel and enjoy.
This, my friends, is the best pumpkin pie you’ll ever drink. It’s a thick, rich milkshake that allows the pumpkin pie to shine. It’s got bits of graham cracker crumbs floating throughout and has the warm spices you love about pumpkin pie. To make it an adult beverage, simple add a few gluggs of bourbon, sit back and unwind after all that hard work!
