If it isn’t smack you in your face obvious around here, I am unapologetically enamoured with fall (and every last item associated with the whole ordeal). That is, of course, with one exception: the pumpkin spiced latte. At the risk of having my blogger card revoked… I have to admit that I’m simply not a fan. Pumpkin spice popsicles? Those I can happily get behind. Pumpkin spice cupcakes? Count me in twice. But there’s something about the coffee pumpkin combo that has never been appealing. I’m sure I’m not alone though, and it’s always made me sad to miss all of the hooplah. Which is where the pumpkin spice hot chocolate comes into play. And you guys, this one is a fall game changer. It’s not overly sweet, has just the right amount of spice, and the salted caramel topping will literally change your life for good (not to sound dramatic or anything). Grab the recipe below!
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup pureéd pumkin
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- dash of ginger powder
- 1 pint heavy cream
- pinch of sugar
- salted caramel topping
- In a medium saucepan, heat milk on low heat until warmed through.
- Stir in pumpkin puree and whisk with milk until blended.
- Stir in nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Add chocolate and stir together for about 7 minutes, then pour into mugs.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat a pinch of sugar and heavy cream on high for several minutes until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon whipped cream into mugs, sprinkle with spices and drizzle with salted caramel topping before serving.

How decadent!! xoxo
Thanks for the recipe, Jacquelyn! I feel like Autumn took forever to arrive, and it’s speeding by. Winter feels like it will be here tomorrow. I need to go apple and pumpkin picking before the month ends.
Happy Saturday
