Hi friends! It’s been a crazy/slow/fast week, right? We are  in that slump between waiting for spring and waiting for winter to be gonezo. Let’s high five winter and say ‘adios!’ with this boozy Vegan Apple Pie Milkshake. Dessert+Booze= Love
This recipe can really be easily adapted to what you have on hand.
No bourbon? Whiskey is mighty fine.
No apples? Any kind of fruit pie is nice, just throw it in there and see what happens.
Let’s talk about drinking dessert. Oftentimes, I would much rather eat a slice of cake than drink a cake batter smoothie/shake. But, when we add a sharp spirit to the mix, slurping Vegan Apple Pie Milkshake dessert never tasted so fine. The possibilities are endless for dessert cocktails. Happy hour+dessert course before dinner, yes and yes!
Hope you aren’t getting hammered with winter’s demise where you are, happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Sometimes it’s fun to drink dessert! While I am ready for some spring weather and being able to run outside without freezing, I fear that winter is going to stick around these parts for a few more weeks.

I think this would work pretty well in summer too 😉

I agree!

Great for all occasions, and so versatile too! I can’t help but think it would be absolutely perfect for a splash of hard cider instead of the bourbon though… Gotta double up on the apple goodness. 😉
Abby @ The Frosted Vegan says
Ohh I like the way you think! I’ll have to try that next time!
