Recipe Card
ingredients
- 4 cups plant-based milk, or dairy milk
- 1 bar Ibarra Mexican chocolate
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup (or 1 can) unsweetened pureed pumpkin
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- whipped cream, optional for topping
ingredients
Cinnamon Sugar Rim:
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup cinnamon sugar
Method
Step 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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
When ready to serve, pour hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream (optional). Sprinkle on additional pumpkin pie spice if desired and enjoy immediately.
