Grown Up Pumpkin Pie Milkshakes.
Uhhh yes… why yes, I am posting a “recipe” for a milkshake.
Feel free to kick me in the teeth.
It’s not that I think you’re too inept to know how to put ice cream scoops and milk in a blender and push “start”… it’s just that I’m not sure you know how to add a few hefty slugs of bourbon.
See? I knew we were in this relationship for a reason.
Ooooh and I also really enjoyed this (some would say too much) and didn’t want you to go a day without it. That’s the real reason.
Okay… and the third (real) reason is that my last-minute planned cookies were a big fat fail on Tuesday and my teeth are sweet today. Sue me.
And I’ve already done all the other boring-yet-delicious, typical, !OMGit’spumpkinseason! recipes so what better way to ring in Fall with a refreshing beverage that tastes like pie with a side of liquor?
This is my kind of thing. I hope it’s yours too.

Love how you putt he sprinkles on the rim of the glass. Such a perfect touch!
This may be the most beautiful thing ever!!! I am so going to make this, this weekend. I love it! Love your blog too.
Uh, I’m this close to putting on a scuba diving outfit and doing deep bourbon pumpkin milkshake diving.
Um, how fat are you???
My how Rude!
Give me a break!
I love people who post stupid, groundless comments but don’t bother to leave a way to contact them. Awesome.
Anyway. Can I just have the bourbon? Oooh maybe I’ll make it a boilermaker of sorts, with the bourbon as a shot after I glug the shake. The mind boggles. ;)
no, but really. you complain about your “tree trunk legs” and yet you post overtly indulgent recipes most days of the week. they really sound good, but its healthy (yes, its not a bad word) to alternate them with vegetables and things that dont have block of butter in them
You sure are sweet Jessica! Perhaps you missed the recent posts on my sidebar? They list these milkshakes, a cupcake recipe, then red pepper penne, chili, cornbread (made with whole wheat flour), and whole wheat soda bread. Not sure what your idea of healthy is, but those are all pretty healthy to me. To each their own. I definitely don’t “post overly indulgent recipes most days of the week” – I aim for 2 days, max. I’m no mathlete, but that’s about 29% which certainly is not “most days of the week.” In fact, these milkshakes have no “block of butter in them,” but seriously… if I could figure out a way to make a butter milkshake I totally would. I also have never said that “healthy” is a bad word. In fact, I love most healthy things… just not vegetables.
Say hi to your bud Perez Hilton for me since that’s who’s email you used.
Is it bad that I actually want to try a butter milkshake now?? :-)
Salted Butter Milkshake Shooter
from http://www.realcaliforniamilk.com
Prep time: 15 minutes
1/4 cup Real California butter
1/4 cup caramel sauce
4 cups Real California vanilla ice cream, softened
Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. When butter begins to foam, swirl skillet several times. Cook and swirl until butter starts to brown; remove from heat. Let cool slightly, then whisk in caramel sauce. Slowly whisk in butter mixture. Serve as shooters in shot glasses or as shakes in large glasses.
Makes about 3 to 3 1/2 cups.
OMG I love you.
Part one: Please delete the comments from “Jessica.” They are a waste of space here. (Although I wouldn’t mind if bloggers talked a little less about their body dissatisfaction, but that’s because I can’t stand the fact that women hate their bodies so much, not because I think you should post healthier recipes.)
Part two: That milkshake looks obscenely, ridiculously, amazingly delicious. Unfortunately, I have no bourbon in the house right now. Or ice cream, half and half or pumpkin, for that matter. Sad.
YUMMY!
I don’t know how bloggers put up with mean people.
look, its just a milkshake. and you know what, sarah? you agreed with me. i just hate it when people eat things and then complain they are fat. i love eating things! just dont talk about bathing suits and crying afterwards. im sure jessica looks fine. its just when you complain about it and fish for compliments that its annoying
Wow. talk about mean people! Good for you Jessica, you responded to that comment with grace, never stooping to “Jessica”s level. Also, I. Want. Those. Sprinkles.

Thank you soooo much! My local ice cream place doesn’t have pumpkin ice cream yet (and they don’t put liquor in it for you.. tisk tisk) so this will tide me over until they get their act together.
P.S. This other Jessica needs to stop reading your blog if she thinks it is so unhealthy, and you handled it with such dignity and class, yet another reason I adore this blog :)
Keep these yummy recipes coming my way, I’m also from Pittsburgh GO STEELERS!!!
Yeah, baby.
I’m laughing at your “!Ohmygoshitspumpkinseason!” comment. I’m totally one of them too. ;) although I would certainly go for a bourbon spiked pumpkin pie milkshake.
Heaven.
Definitely my thing. I heart pumpkin season!
Would be awesome at Halloween parties :) Do you think you could use whiskey instead of bourbon? Like Jack Daniels maybe?
Jack Daniels is bourbon, so yes, you could use it. :)
Actually, Jack Daniels is whiskey because it doesn’t come from Kentucky and not made mostly from corn. :) But yes, they are similar in flavor.
I totally made it this weekend with Jim Beam. :) It’s what we had in the house. It was delicious, but Jack would probably have been better.
How beautiful this looks! What a perfect way to serve this. I’m so craving this now.
Since tomorrow is the official first day of fall, I am going to start my season out right, with your delicious milkshake. Who needs pumpkin pie for dessert, when I can make this. Can’t wait to try it! Thank you for sharing, I am sure my Hubby would thank you too!! ;)
Hi,
Pumpkin and bourbon, with ice cream…I’m in! What a delicious fall treat; thanks for sharing.
YUM!!!!! And since it’s already Fall according to the calendar but still eight hundred degrees outside in DC (and this morning greeted us with air outside that’s like walking through molasses–yippee!!) this’ll be on the table this evening with dinner. Aw, heck. The kids get off school early. I’ll get them some booze-free ones and then one (in the same glass) for me…nobody at the playground’ll know a thing. (We used to put beer in sippy cups for the grown ups while the kids played at the park after school….but THAT, my dear, is a whole other story).
Stay calm and EAT A ONE POUND BLOCK OF BUTTER, I like to say. You go! :)
LOVE. this. blog.
Righteous!!
Made these last night & my husband & I both thought they were delicious!!! Thanks for a great recipe!
I just adore how you see the world. I think you are making it a better place! :)
clearly this is a special occassion since your using jim beam instead of the traditional lovett favorite Ancient Age
Irwin stopped selling Ancient Age!!
you go girl!!!
lol……..love this recipe!
Omg, can I please have one of these for breakfast?!
I’m such a whiskey freak! I’m thinking about doing a collection of all my whiskey recipes!
P.S. Hope you’re having a blast!! Miss ya xo
I cannot wait to make these, I love autumn and all the pumpkin apple flavor goodness. And this just takes it one step further! Thanks for sharing!
Ok, not only does this make me want to jump through the monitor, I have seriously been drooling at all of your posts this week. For whatever reason, I can’t get your noodle/chili/cornbread thing out of my head! You’ve definitely captured me this week (:
This is one over indulgent delicious looking treat – and the bourbon addition is brilliant. YUM! Love it!
My grocery store should be scared because I’m planning on purchasing cases of pumpkin and then making one or two of these delicious shakes!! Love you & love pumpkin season!
Seriously gorgeous…the sprinkles on the rim are just a grand slam.
I may have actually made this the background on my computer to help me feel like I can get in the fall spirit even if it’s 95 degrees here!
This is just flat out awe.some. The pics rock and scream FALL :D
Well since I’m mourning the official end of summer, nothing sounds better than a little bourbon in my milkshake.
This sounds delicious! I found it on pinterest and am repinning it :) I can’t wait to make them for my fiance, he will just love them. Thank you for sharing the recipe!!
And anyway, Jessica, if you have such a problem with what she posts then don’t read the blog!

Thank You so much for posting this recipe! It sounds Delicious and I’m loving the pictures!!! I think, for reasons unknown, maybe because I’m craving a latte right now that replacing the milk with cold cinnamon or pumpkin coffee would be really good!
P.S. I’m sorry, I know you aren’t really a fan of coffee.
I really enjoy reading your blog and your recipes so much! Thank You :D
a pumpkin milkshake? with sprinkles? AND bourbon? i need one STAT.
This looks amazing…so delicious that I had to show Honey Bunny….he agrees!
Oh my goodness! I just found this on Pinterest (which is an awese website if you havent checked it out) but I appreciate you sharing this wonderful looking recipe! Thank goodness it’s a free country and you don’t have to look at all/any of your recipes for the sake of your blogger, Jessica. By the way, I have a minor in nutrition but I don’t think it would take a rocket science to figure out there isn’t butter here. Word the wise, pick your battles and saying insulting things to people doesn’t help you or them. Anyways, I am always looking for awesome recipes and appreciate your knowledge!
I’m a sucker for milkshakes. Big time. Even thought of the extensive calorie intake. It doesn’t count with milkshakes, right? Love this pumpkin milkshake! Espcially with the added sprinkles. Can never have two many of those babies.
This looks so divine!! I am definitely adding the ingredients to my store list today. :D
