We are big hot chocolate fans over here and we also happen to be big pumpkin fans! This recipe is the best of both worlds and is a great way to use up leftover pumpkin. It is super easy to make and is a drink that can be loved by people of all ages! Try enhancing your whipped cream by adding vanilla sugar to it! We promise, you won't be disappointed!

Β 

Ingredients:Β 

  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ginger
  • 1/8 tsp. cloves
  • 1/8 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract made with VanillaPura vanilla beans. (We recommendΒ Hawaiian or Madagascar with this recipe.)Β 
  • 4 oz. white chocolate, chopped
  • pinch salt

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the milk, pumpkin and spices and heat over medium heat just until the mixture begins to simmer.
  2. Β Remove from heat and add in the chopped white chocolate and stir together until completely melted and fully incorporated. Β 
  3. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.

Notes: I found the mixture a bit to chunky to drink, so I pressed it through a sieve and it tastes amazing! By doing this, you cut down on the amount of servings and get 2 to 2.5 servings. Β Alternatively you could pour the mixture in a blender and get the same results and still yield 4 servings.
