Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy to make: Just mix, pour, and let your crockpot do the magic.
- Perfect for gatherings: Keeps warm for hours so everyone can enjoy a hot cup.
- Customizable: Make it with or without alcohol, dairy-free, or extra decadent.
Ingredients
(Makes about 8 servings)
- 4 cups whole milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps (optional but SO FUN)
Instructions
Step 1 – Combine Ingredients
In your crockpot, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth. I tend to use my immersion stick blender to make quick work of this. The pumpkin puree takes a bit of time to blend in otherwise.
Step 2 – Slow Cook
Set the crockpot to low and cook for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the pumpkin from settling. The drink should be steaming hot but not boiling.
Step 3 – Serve
Keep the crockpot on the warm setting. Ladle the pumpkin pie drink into mugs, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or gingersnaps for that “pie crust” finish. Easy and done!
Tips & Variations
- Dairy-Free: Use almond or oat milk with coconut cream for a rich, plant-based version.
- Make it boozy: Add a splash of bourbon, spiced rum, or Irish cream just before serving.
- Extra spice: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for a stronger fall flavor.
- For kids: Let them top their drink with mini marshmallows or a cinnamon stick.
- Caffeinate: Turn this into a pumpkin pie latte vibe by adding a shot or two of espresso.
- Try a cold foam: Add a topper of maple, pumpkin, or toasted marshmallow for an added treat!
Perfect Occasions for a cup of Drinkable Pumpkin Pie
- Thanksgiving dessert alternative
- Fall brunch centerpiece
- Halloween party drink
- Warm up treat after the pumpkin patch
- Cozy weekend treat while decorating for the holidays
Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the crockpot OR turn it into an iced Pumpkin Pie!
