Boozy Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate

Ingredients (Serves 2)

• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (can substitute milk chocolate if preferred)

• 2 1/2 cups milk

• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree

• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1 ounce Kahlua (or sub half as much Bourbon)

• Whipped cream and caramel (optional for topping)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of the milk, whisking often (about 3 minutes).

2. Once melted, add the rest of the milk, the pumpkin and the pumpkin pie spice and stir vigorously to incorporate.

3. Pour a small amount of the hot chocolate into serving glasses (two as original recipe is written), add Kahlua OR bourbon (bourbon is much stronger in taste). Top off with hot chocolate, stir and then top with whipped cream, caramel sauce and more pumpkin pie spice (optional).
