This Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate is a cozy, rich, and creamy drink combining the classic flavors of chocolate and warm pumpkin spice. Perfect for fall and winter, it’s a decadent treat made with real pumpkin and warming spices.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, cream, pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is hot and just beginning to simmer. Do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to melt, then whisk until smooth.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing sugar as preferred.
  • You can substitute bittersweet chocolate with semisweet for a sweeter drink.
  • Make it dairy-free by using plant-based milk and cream alternatives.
