Hot Chocolate Base
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Cinnamon, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Heat Milk and Pumpkin Puree: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of milk and 1/4 cup pumpkin puree. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Melt White Chocolate and Add Spices: Add 1/4 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice to the warm milk mixture. Whisk constantly until the white chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile and blend all the ingredients well.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs. Top each serving with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of cinnamon for added warmth and aroma.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer, creamier hot chocolate or substitute with any preferred milk alternative.
- Adjust pumpkin pie spice according to taste preference for more or less intensity.
- White chocolate chips melt faster if chopped into smaller pieces before adding.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and whipped cream alternatives.
