Serious Eats / Maggie Hoffman

We know a few people who have a serious weakness for once-or-twice-yearly slices of pumpkin cheesecake, so we decided to capture that flavor in drinkable form. This shake has a mellow pumpkin flavor spiced with a pinch of cinnamon, and the addition of cream cheese makes it tangy and extra creamy. Beware: it's rich, so you'll probably want to share with friends.
