Vegan Caramel Pumpkin Spice Shake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I'm 98% sure this vegan caramel pumpkin spice shake is the last of my pumpkin recipes for the season. I'm leaving those last two percentage points open just in case 1) I experience a surge of inspiration to tackle a pumpkin pie recipe in honor of Thanksgiving and/or 2) I'm able to solve the mystery of a pumpkin pasta recipe whose curious flavor has eluded some of my greatest seasoning efforts to date.

Vegan Caramel Pumpkin Spice Shake

This Caramel Pumpkin Spice Shake keeps things simple and seasonably dreamy. The pumpkin spice shake base has a handful of the same ingredients as this pumpkin pie pudding, minus the avocado and plus a banana, coconut milk, a splash of almond milk, and some ice to keep things cool.

To make it, you'll toss everything in a blender, blend until super smooth, and pour it into glasses that have been drizzled with a generous amount of this 5-minute pumpkin spice caramel sauce.

The recipe makes enough for about two, 14-ounce shakes or you can stretch it out into four, 7-ounce mini shakes.

If you're in a pinch, don't feel like you have to add the caramel. There are dates in the shake that also lend a caramel note, so the pumpkin spice caramel is really just an added element of luxury.

If, on the other hand, you're feeling extra luxurious, then add a dollop of coconut whipped cream too.

This is your pumpkin spice shake, I'm just here to offer a little guidance along the way.

    This shake looks wonderously creamy dreamy! I want to sip on this and snuggle by a campfire sitting on haybails!

    Ashley I just made this and we're jumping all over our living room with joy! You know I'm your biggest 5 minute vegan caramel fan and I didn't see how you could make it any better but this pumpkin caramel swirled in a pumpkin shake?! Oh please girl! I'll post the pic on Instagram tomorrow (be forewarned I am a terrible drizzler) and mine is nowhere near as pretty as yours but we were moaning while slurping and then digging at the frozen caramel on the sides of the glass with a spoon! So so so delicious!
