1 tablespoon bourbon extract (for a non-alcoholic version)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, vanilla ice cream, milk, caramel sauce, bourbon extract, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice.

    Blend the mixture on medium speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary.

      Taste and adjust sweetness or spice level by adding more caramel or pumpkin pie spice if desired.

        Once blended, pour the malteada into tall glasses, leaving some room at the top for whipped cream.

          Top each malteada with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

            Drizzle extra caramel sauce over the whipped cream and sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top for added texture.
