A decadent milkshake that blends toasted pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla with vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream, caramel, and crushed biscuits, mimicking the flavors of a classic pecan pie.

Ingredients

For the Milkshake:

3 scoops vanilla ice cream

½ cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup toasted pecan halves

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional: 1 small slice of pecan pie

For Decorating the Glass:

¼ cup caramel sauce

½ cup crushed biscuits (e.g., Biscoff, graham crackers, or digestive biscuits)

Whipped cream

Extra caramel for drizzling

Whole pecans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Decorate the Rim: Pour caramel sauce onto a shallow plate and crushed biscuits onto another. Dip the rim of your milkshake glass into the caramel, coating it evenly. Then, immediately roll the glass in the crushed biscuits. Chill the glass in the refrigerator to set the rim.
  2. Toast the Pecans: Place pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 3–5 minutes until they become fragrant and lightly golden. Allow the toasted pecans to cool before blending to enhance their nutty flavor.
  3. Blend Ice Cream and Milk: In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the milk for the desired thickness.
  4. Add Pecans and Flavorings: Add the toasted pecans, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is thick and speckled with fine pecan pieces.
  5. Optional – Add Pecan Pie Slice: For extra richness, blend in a small slice of pecan pie. This adds more texture and authentic pie flavor.
  6. Prepare Glass with Caramel Swirl: Remove the decorated glass from the fridge and drizzle additional caramel sauce along the inside walls for a marbled effect.
  7. Assemble and Serve: Pour the milkshake into the prepared glass. Top with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel, and a few whole pecans for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free ice cream and milk, such as coconut or almond milk.

To add a chocolate twist, blend in cocoa powder or chocolate chips.

For an adult version, add a tablespoon of bourbon for a caramelized kick.

If you’re not a fan of pecans, you can use other nuts like walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.

Store toasted pecans in an airtight container for up to a week.
