Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups milk dairy or non-dairy of your choice, like almond or oat milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Extra pumpkin pie spice or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pour the milk into a medium saucepan and warm it over medium heat. You want it hot but not boiling (nobody wants scorched milk!).
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, cocoa powder, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Keep whisking until everything is smooth and cozy-looking. Again, don’t let it boil, gentle heat is your friend here.
  • Once everything is perfectly blended, pour the hot chocolate into mugs.
  • Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle on some pumpkin pie spice or chocolate shavings for that “coffee shop at home” vibe.
  • Now comes the best part, curl up, take a sip, and enjoy the fall flavors in every creamy, chocolatey mouthful.
