Instructions
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.
2
|
Add the chopped semisweet and white chocolate, spices, and salt and whisk until the chocolates have fully melted into the milk mixture.
3
|
Stir in the vanilla and maple syrup.
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.
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.
6
|
Pour some pumpkin hot chocolate into mugs and top each with a dollop of whipped cream, if using.
