It's fall and festive season. Of course, it's all about pumpkin, be it breakfast, snacks, main dishes, salads, desserts or drinks. As cooler temperature arrives here in Northern California, we are ready for warm blankets and special flavor hot chocolate to enjoy Fall. A delicious Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate with real pumpkin, spices and coco powder is perfect to warm up chilly fall evenings.
This hot chocolate is slightly thicker than regular hot chocolate. I have used homemade Pumpkin Puree and Pumpkin Spice. Its taste is kind of liquid version of Pumpkin pie. So Pumpkin Pie lovers, this is definitely a must try.
Ingredients~
2 1/4 cups 2% milk
4 tsp. Pumpkin Puree
1/4 tsp. Pumpkin Spice
1 1/2 tsp. unsweetened coco powder
2 tbsp. sugar
Whipped cream(optional)
Method~
Heat the milk on the stove top just until steaming hot. Put the last four ingredients and 1/2 cup milk in a blender and process until smooth. Divide mixture into two glasses or mugs then pour hot milk over it. Whisk until frothy. Top with whipped cream for extra richness and dust with some coco powder and Pumpkin Spice. Enjoy this hearty Fall drink with family and friends.
Note~ For quick Pumpkin Puree, microwave 1 cup diced pumpkin with 1tbsp.water in a safe glass bowl covered with a lid or plate for 8-10 minutes on high stirring 4-5 times. Cook for few more minutes as needed. Blend until smooth.
