Fall is the time for all things pumpkin spice…and this Pumpkin Spice Mudslide is about to become your new favorite!

This drink combines all the flavors of the classic mudslide cocktail with a pumpkin spice twist.

Perfect for fall gatherings or cozy nights by the fire, if you love mudslides you’ll fall in love with this fall version!

So. We finally did Disney World. After more than a decade of waiting for just the right time…we finally decided it was now or never. Our kids range in age from 4-12, and to be honest? I feel like now was the absolute perfect time.

There were no nap schedules to deal with, the meltdowns were kept to a minimum, and everyone had a blast. We spent 5 days at the parks, dined with princesses, attended a luau, and went on a private fireworks cruise. And….of course….went to Mickey’s Halloween party!

I have to admit. Celebrating fall when it’s 90 degrees and humid doesn’t feel quite right. Especially considering the fact that here in Wisconsin its 55 degrees and cloudy. There’s something about the cooler weather that makes me ready for fall and everything that goes along with it. Namely? Pumpkin spice.

I love pumpkin spice any way I can get it…whether it’s Pumpkin Spice M&M Cookies, Pumpkin Spice Latte Dip, or a delicious Pumpkin Spice Smoothie. And this Pumpkin Spice Mudslide is an obvious favorite.

After making Eggnog Mudslides last year, I realized that they really are the perfect base for any type of flavor.

And with fall officially upon us, I felt it was only right to make a pumpkin spice version!

This Pumpkin Spice Mudslide has all the ingredients of a basic Mudslide, with the delicious addition of pumpkin pie spice extract. (If you can’t find the extract, no worries! You can easily substitute regular pumpkin pie spice.)

It takes just minutes to mix up and can be made as a single serving or by the pitcher for holiday parties. And best of all? It totally doubles as dessert.

It’s sweet, creamy, and tastes like a combination of french silk and pumpkin pie. In other words, it’s like a little taste of heaven.
