PUMPKIN SPICE MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE

INGREDIENTS

  • Pumpkin Spiced Hot Chocolate
    • 4 cups plant-based or dairy milk
    • 1 bar Ibarra Mexican chocolate
    • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spices (mix below)
    • ½ cup to 1 can unsweetened pureed pumpkin
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Cinnamon Sugar Rim
    • 1 cup caramel sauce
    • ⅓ cup cinnamon sugar



INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a saucepan or pot over medium-high heat, whisk together milk, pumpkin spices, and chocolate. Use a wooden spoon to break up chocolate and whisk until combined. Set heat to the lowest setting and stir frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Add pumpkin and vanilla and whisk until blended. The mixture should be smooth, glossy, and thick. If you prefer thinner hot chocolate, add more milk and whisk. Keep warm.
  2. To make the cinnamon sugar rim, pour caramel sauce into a low bowl. Gently dip mug rim into caramel. In a separate bowl, pour an even mixture of cinnamon sugar (you can make your own or buy). Dip caramel coated mug rim into cinnamon sugar until caramel is thoroughly coated. 
  3. When ready to serve, pour hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle on additional pumpkin pie spice if desired.
