Instructions
Make Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa

- While it's simmering, make the whipped cream (instructions below).
- Once the milk mixture is at simmer, turn the heat to low and slowly whisk in the chocolate chips until they're completely melted into the hot chocolate.
- Pour the pumpkin spice hot chocolate into mugs and top with dollops of the pumpkin spice whipped cream.
Cup of Yum
Make the Pumpkin Spice Whipped Cream
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together all of the whipped cream (or use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed) for about 4 minutes, until the cream is thick and sticks up in 'stiff peaks' when you lift the whisk out of the bowl.
Notes
- Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate - swap the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips instead! They will be sweeter so use 4 ounces of the condensed milk, you can always add more if it's not sweet enough for ya!
- Make it a creamy plant based hot cocoa - make it dairy-free with soy milk , coconut milk, almond milk, or oat milk.
- Bourbon Pumpkin Hot Chocolate - Add a splash of bourbon for the adults, it is SO delicious.
- Slow cooker for a Big Batch - this CAN be doubled or tripled and made in the slow cooker, but you'll be adding the chocolate chips into it an hour or two into heating up the milk mixture.
