Boozy Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate

Boozy Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

  • 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 1/2cups almond milk, unsweetened
  • 1 can coconut milk, refrigerated for at least 8 hours.
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 ounce bourbon, per cocktail

Instructions

  • In a sauce pan whisk together chocolate chips and 1/2 cup almond milk over medium-low heat.
  • Add in remaining almond milk, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice and whisk together.
  • Keep warm over low heat while you prepare the coconut whipped cream.
  • Separate the coconut cream (top solid portion) from the liquid. Set liquid aside for smoothies or soups.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat coconut cream on high speed until fluffy.
  • Add powdered sugar, beat to combine, taste and adjust to your preference with more sugar if you'd like.
  • Pour 1/2 ounce bourbon into each cocktail glass and top with hot chocolate.
  • Spoon out coconut whipped cream and top with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ingredients yield 3 cups of hot chocolate. Depending on size of glassware used, the number of drinks may vary, but there is at least enough for 3 large mugs of hot coco or 6-7 smaller glasses! Kahlua, Baileys or Frangelico would taste great too!

    I’m allergic to almonds and all other nuts. What could I substitute for the almond milk? Just regular milk?

    Yaaaay! I just had to give up dairy and soy bc my baby has a protein intolerance – and it seems that everything tasty has dairy or soy in it. This recipe is going to save my holidays!!!

    I just have one question…in the ingredients list it calls for “coconut milk”…then in the instructions it says “Separate the coconut cream”. Coconut milk and coconut cream are 2 different things. I’ve never had to separate coconut milk, but the coconut cream (like what’s used for making Pina Coladas) does have a solid and a liquid. Which should be used for this recipe?
