Instructions

Add 1/2 cup whole milk to a blender, followed by 2 cups vanilla ice cream.
Add 1/3 cup pumpkin purée, 2 tbsp chai concentrate, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then on medium-high for 20–30 seconds until thick and smooth. Avoid overblending.
Check consistency. Add 1 tablespoon milk at a time if too thick, or 1/4 cup additional ice cream if too thin.
Pour into a chilled 16-ounce glass and top with 2 tbsp whipped cream.
Serve immediately with a wide straw and long spoon.

Tips

Use full-fat ice cream and milk for the creamiest texture. Pumpkin purée can be homemade or canned, but avoid pumpkin pie filling which contains added spices.
