PUMPKIN SPICE WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE FOR A CROWD



Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate for a Crowd image

This is a really basic white hot chocolate that can be spiked with coffee liqueur or served by itself, and topped with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. I make the hot chocolate in a slow cooker for about 3 hours on Low, and then keep on Warm for as long as I want to serve. It makes a lot, so you can keep it in the fridge and then just reheat on the stove on low when you want to serve again.

Tips:

- Always use good quality chocolate. A higher percentage of cocoa will result in a richer, more flavorful hot chocolate. - For the best results, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then blending the flesh until smooth. If you use canned puree, be sure to buy one without any added sugar or spices. - To make your hot chocolate extra creamy, use a combination of milk and cream. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallows on top. - If you like a spicy hot chocolate, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or cinnamon. - For a more decadent hot chocolate, add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup or chocolate chips. - If you don't have pumpkin spice on hand, you can make your own by combining ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and allspice.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spiced hot chocolate is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for fall and winter. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
