Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate

This Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate is a cozy and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of fall. The creamy blend of white chocolate, nutty almond milk, warm spices, and real puree make it the perfect treat to enjoy on a chilly evening. Whether you’re sipping it alone or sharing it with loved ones, this hot cocoa is sure to warm you from the inside out.

I love Pumpkin Spice Recipes so much that when I first made this comforting drink I made it every day for two weeks! It’s so good and much better than Starbucks, in my opinion, and less expensive!

Pumpkin spice is basically the flavor of fall, bringing that cozy, nostalgic vibe to everything it touches. This drink is sweet and totally irresistible with all those autumn spices. These Air Fryer Pumpkin Donut Holes are delicious to serve with this drink, making it the perfect treat on a chilly morning or evening snack.

Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate

 Creating this fall-flavored white hot chocolate is easy and customizable, too. I prefer to use almond milk with this recipe but any milk or plant-based milk is delicious, too. Simple white chocolate chips, autumn squash puree, and Homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix go in this drink, but adding the Torani Puremade Pumpkin Pie Sauce to the creamy beverage takes it over the top. Don’t forget the whipped cream and a dash of the fall spice as a garnish!

Timesaving Tips and Variations

• When melting the chocolate into the milk, whisk continuously to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without lumps or burning.
• Using good-quality white chocolate will elevate the richness and creaminess of the drink. Avoid overly sugary brands, which can make the drink too sweet.
• If you’re making this for a crowd, use a slow cooker to keep it warm for hours. Stir occasionally to prevent separation.
• Substitute the pumpkin pie sauce for caramel sauce if you desire.
• Replace the almond milk with coconut milk for a tropical twist.

These tips and variations allow you to tailor your hot cocoa to your personal taste, making it an even more special treat to enjoy throughout the season.

Can I Make Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate Ahead of Time?

Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time! Once you prepared the mixture (let it cool) you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to serve, just reheat it on the stove, stirring occasionally, and then top it with the suggested garnishes before serving. Keep in mind that the texture might thicken slightly as it cools, so you may need to add a splash of milk when reheating. I do not recommend reheating in the microwave.

Can I make this in a slow cooker for a crowd?

This recipe makes two servings but you can scale the recipe up and make in a slow cooker, which is perfect for gatherings. Once you have increased the ingredients, simply combine them in the slow cooker on low heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is heated through. Use the servings indicator in the recipe card to increase the servings to your needs.

What Types of Milk Can I Use to Make Hot Chocolate?

I like using almond milk as it brings out a nuttiness to the drink, but regular milk, oat milk, soy milk, or even cashew milk will all be delicious in this recipe.

What Kind of White Chocolate Can I use for Hot Cocoa?

For this recipe, I used Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips as it’s a good quality chocolate. I find them in my grocery store’s baking aisle. You can also use good quality candy melt wafers.

Tools to Make Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate

The tools needed to make this recipe are common kitchen items. I have linked a few products that I like the most and use often.

• Medium saucepan
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Large Mugs

Having the tools ready before you proceed with the recipe is a great idea. This way you aren’t trying to find that measuring cup in the middle of the prep.

Ingredients

The ingredients I used to make this recipe can be found in your grocery store or even online. You may need to buy the Torani sauce online as it’s not always available in the stores. I linked to my favorite chocolate chips for reference as they are easily found in the grocery store’s baking area.

• almond milk
• canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• Homemade Pumpkin Spice Mix
• Torani Puremade Pumpkin Pie Sauce
• vanilla extract
• white chocolate chips
• whipped cream, optional

Using the recommended ingredients will result in a delicious and rich but not overly sweet cold weather beverage.

Directions

Using a medium saucepan, add your almond milk, puree, spices, and Torani’s Sauce – mix well using a whisk, and heat until it’s just coming to a boil.  Let it simmer on low for a few minutes while stirring a few times until it’s the mixture is blended well and hot.  

Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla and the white chips, mixing until they are melted and combined. 

Pour into mugs, garnish with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin spice or a drizzle of the pumpkin pie sauce.  

Adding a whole cinnamon stick is a fun garnish that will give it an additional vibe of fall spices.
