Ingredients
2 cups whole milk (or oat milk for a dairy-free option)
1/2 cup high-quality white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons pure pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Whipped cream for garnish
Dash of cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the milk and pumpkin puree.
Whisk steadily for 3 minutes until well combined and steaming.
Add the white chocolate chips and pumpkin pie spice.
Continue to whisk constantly for about 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then remove from heat once hot and fully incorporated.
Pour into mugs and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently on the stove. Use 100% pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. For a vegan version, use oat milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips. Add a pinch of cayenne for spice or a shot of espresso for a mocha version.
