- 15 oz canned pumpkin puree

Instructions
Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate
- In a large pot over medium-low heat, whisk the milk and pumpkin puree together so that the puree blends with the milk. Be careful not to let the milk boil or it’ll scald.
- Once the milk and pumpkin mixture is warmed through (about 3-4 minutes), add the white chocolate, spices, and salt and whisk until the white chocolate has fully melted into the milk mixture and the spices have flavored the drink.
- Add the vanilla and stir until fully combined. If you want to boost the sweetness and nuttiness of the hot chocolate, you can add 1 tbsp of maple syrup.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top (see instructions below).
Whipped Cream
- Using an electric (handheld) beater, whip the heavy cream in a bowl until it starts to become light and fluffy.
- Add the sugar and whip until soft peaks are formed. Be careful not to overwhip.
