What is Blueberry Pie Milkshake?
Blueberry pie milkshake is a blueberry pie you can sip. But unlike other blueberry milkshake recipes, this one actually uses leftover blueberry pie.
We’ll blend salted caramel ice cream, milk, and malted milk powder with a slice of luscious blueberry pie.
It’s like a combination of different desserts in one glass! ?
This drinkable “pie a la mode” comes together quickly, and it’s definitely way less work than other desserts made with leftover pie. Sure, you can bake puddings, muffins, cakes, and cookies with leftover pie, but is there anything easier than just putting all the ingredients in a blender?

What Does Blueberry Pie Shake Taste Like?
This blueberry pie milkshake tastes like everything a dessert drink should be. It’s decadent and creamy, but it doesn’t taste overly sweet that it will hurt your throat (I’m sure you know what I mean with some super sweet desserts).
You’ll get the familiar sweetness of the blueberry pie perfectly complemented by the salty richness of whole milk and salted caramel ice cream.
We’ve also included malted milk powder, which really completes the flavors in the drink with its roasted, milky taste. You can think of it like the “MSG” in savory recipes. ?
You see, I always have a thing for drinkable desserts. When trying new restaurants, you can expect me to order one of their “sweet drinks.”
I feel like decadent drinks are the best way to cap off any meal because they’re not as heavy as desserts you eat on a plate.
Speaking of sippable desserts, there’s no denying that milkshakes are easily the best dessert drink.
And with hundreds of milkshake variations, pie milkshakes are one of the easiest and most satisfying ones you can (or should) make at home.
I mean, you only need basic milkshake ingredients like ice cream and milk, plus your choice of add-ins. Then, just throw in a piece of whatever pie you have!
It’s super easy for something so dreamy.

Tips About Making Blueberry Pie Milkshake
- Use less milk if you want a thicker blueberry pie shake, or add more for a smoother consistency.
- Want the creamiest blueberry pie milkshake? Your ice cream should be soft and not rock hard! Take it out of the freezer for at least 10 minutes before blending. ?
- Try this dessert shake with a blueberry whipped cream topping! It’s super easy: Just beat a cup of cold heavy cream and 1/3 cup of blueberry syrup until soft peaks form.
How To Store Blueberry Crumb Pie Milkshake
- Fridge: Blueberry crumb pie milkshake is best enjoyed immediately after making it. This recipe makes one perfect serving, but if you have some leftover shake, just store it in a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to a day.
- Freezer: Technically, you can freeze your leftover shake, but I doubt that it’ll taste as good after thawing. Just whip up a fresh batch when the cravings strike; this recipe is done in 5 minutes anyway.

How Do You Preserve a Pie Milkshake for a Long Time?
To preserve your homemade blueberry pie milkshake for a long time, your best option is to freeze it in a freezer-safe container. It should store well in the freezer for a month or two.
Then, thaw the frozen shake and give it a stir before serving.
Personally, I don’t like freezing leftover melted milkshakes. After freezing and thawing, the texture and taste are just not the same.
So, to “salvage” it, I often needed to reblend the shake with more ice cream. That’s just too much work compared to blending a fresh batch! ?
An alternative I can think of to store milkshakes for longer is to just pour the leftover shake into popsicle molds.
