Ingredients
Hot Chocolate
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 23 g
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar 22 g
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream 60 g
- 2 ½ cup whole milk 20 oz, 595 g
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree 60 g
Fresh whipped cream
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream 119 g
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar 11 g
- A splash of pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- To make whipped cream, add heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla to a medium mixing bowl and beat vigorously with a whisk until soft to medium peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make hot chocolate, add cocoa powder, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice to a small bowl. Pour heavy cream over the cocoa powder mixture and mix with a spoon until a thick paste forms.
- Heat milk and pumpkin puree in a small pot over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally. Scrape the cocoa powder paste from the bowl and add it to the simmering pot, mix with a whisk until completely dissolved.
- Pour hot chocolate into two mugs. Top with fresh whipped cream, and a few sprinkles of pumpkin pie spice.
Notes
The whipped cream can be made in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer. But for the small amount called for in this recipe, it can easily be made by hand. Refrigerate leftovers if necessary.
