I know. I know. It’s fall, which means warm soups and comfort foods. Ice cream and milkshakes belong to summer. This is my husband’s fault though. He’s the one who found cinnamon ice cream at the grocery store.

I decided it would pair nicely with some apple cider and a little milk to make fall shakes. Of course I added some Apple Pie Spice for a little extra punch.

Then I poured the shakes into fun Halloween cups. I topped them with whipped cream and spiced donuts.

They were a hit with the pajama party girls.

Apple Cider Milkshakes

Ingredients

• 2 cups cinnamon ice cream (vanilla would work as well)

Please ignore the mess and focus on the yummy treats in cute, festive cups. They really are worth the splurge.
