Blend Until Smooth: Blend all the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the spices and pumpkin puree are fully incorporated.

Notes

Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices that affect the flavor balance.
Adjust the pumpkin spice quantities to your preference for more or less warmth.
For a vegan version, substitute vanilla ice cream and milk with dairy-free alternatives.
Adding a pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness and spice flavors.
Serve immediately to prevent the milkshake from melting and losing its creamy texture.
