Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 cups whole milk
- 3 cups half and half
- 1 bag white chocolate chips 12 oz.
- 1 can pumpkin puree 15 oz.
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- Whipped cream or marshmallows optional garnish
- Pumpkin pie spice optional garnish
Instructions
- Place the whole milk, half and half, white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and allspice in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-low heat. Whisk all of the ingredients together.
- Continue to heat and whisk mixture frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the hot chocolate is warmed to your liking, about 15-20 minutes.
- Pour into cups and serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
- The milk mixture should not come to a boil. The goal is to warm the chocolate and milk slowly for the best texture and consistency.
- Make sure to use a whisk to help break down the chocolate. You should be left with a nice creamy texture. If the hot chocolate still has chunks of chocolate in it, it still needs to be heated.
If you’d like to make a Hot Chocolate in a slow cooker and keep it warm for hours, follow the instructions below.
- Place the whole milk, half and half, white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and allspice in a slow cooker. Stir everything together and then set on low.
- After 45 minutes, open the slow cooker to stir the melted chocolate until thoroughly combined with the rest of the ingredients.
- Let the hot chocolate cook in the crockpot for 2 hours and stir every 45 minutes. You can keep it in the crockpot for hours, on low, serving it as needed throughout the day. It works great for potlucks and sledding parties!
