Who says milkshakes are only for summer? Not us! When you want a cool change from your favorite pumpkin spice latte, these fantastically autumnal treats are just the thing. In fact, they’re so good you should probably make a double batch. For an adult version, add a shot of bourbon to the blender before mixing. Just before you begin, make a half batch of Easy Whipped Cream.
Make-ahead note: Make up to 1 hour in advance, then freeze airtight; warm slightly while stirring before serving.
