Pumpkin Hot Chocolate
It’s time to pull out the scarves and sweaters and grab a mug full of your new favorite hot drink. This Pumpkin Hot Chocolate is a rich, spiced, and decadent treat that’ll make any day a little bit cozier. Made with milk, semisweet and white chocolate, a touch of maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and real pumpkin puree, this warm drink is autumn in a cup.
Ingredients
Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Step 1
In a large pot over medium-low heat, whisk the milk and pumpkin puree together and cook for 3 to 4 minutes so that the puree blends with the milk and the mixture warms through. Be careful not to let the milk boil or it’ll scald.
- Step 2
Add the chopped semisweet and white chocolate, spices, and salt and whisk until the chocolates have fully melted into the milk mixture.
- Step 3
Stir in the vanilla and maple syrup.
- Step 4
Pour the hot chocolate through a fine mesh strainer to strain out any pumpkin puree and spices that haven’t mixed in. We recommend straining it twice for extra smoothness.
- Step 5
Optional: if making whipped cream, add cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to a bowl. Using an electric beater or stand mixer, beat the cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Step 6
Pour some pumpkin hot chocolate into mugs and top each with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.
