Equipment

Ingredients

Hot Cocoa

  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Whipped Topping

  • ½ cup whipped cream
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cinnamon sticks

Instructions

  • STEP 1: Melt the chocolate chips in the saucepan on low to medium heat until soft.
  • STEP 2: Whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid scorching.
  • STEP 3: Add pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, sugar and cocoa powder until blended. Stir well.
  • STEP 4: Continuing cooking, stirring until the cocoa reaches your desired temperature. If you like it hot, wait until it is bubbling before taking off the heat.
  • STEP 5: Pour hot cocoa into glasses or mugs, add whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a cinnamon stick if you want, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since this recipe contains milk, I do not recommending freezing, because curdling could occur when thawing.
