FAQs
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree?
Yes, but you’ll need to cook and puree fresh pumpkin first. Steam or roast the pumpkin until tender, then blend it into a smooth puree before adding to the milkshake.
What can I substitute for pumpkin pie spice?
You can make your own blend using ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. A common ratio is 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ginger, and a pinch of cloves.
