Description

A creamy copycat Jack in the Box Pumpkin Pie Shake made in your Ninja Creami. Thick, pumpkin-spiced, and topped with whipped cream — the perfect easy fall treat with no drive-thru required.

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup whole milk, or oat milk for dairy-free
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, or full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup pumpkin puree, pure pumpkin, not pie filling
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, or sweetener of choice
  • 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk, optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For serving:

  • 2 tablespoons milk, for spinning
  • Whipped cream
  • Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, for dusting
  • Crushed graham crackers or a vanilla wafer, optional

Instructions

  • Whisk the milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, sugar, condensed milk, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until completely smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour into a Ninja Creami pint container, staying below the max fill line. Seal and freeze flat on a level surface for at least 24 hours.
  • Remove the lid, lock the pint into the outer bowl, and run the Milkshake function (or Shake/Smoothie Bowl if your model differs).
  • Add 2–3 tablespoons milk and run the Milkshake or Re-spin function again, adding a little more milk until thick and pourable.
  • Pour into a tall chilled glass, top with whipped cream, dust with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, and add crushed graham crackers if desired.

Equipment

  • Ninja Creami Ice Cream Machine
  • Ninja Creami Pint Container
  • Ninja Creami Pint Container Lid

Notes

A full, flat 24-hour freeze is key to a dense shake. If the first spin is crumbly, that's normal — add a splash of milk and re-spin. Use pure pumpkin, not pie filling, to control sweetness and spice.
