The best 5 words ever put together! Say it with me people: Pumpkin. Spice. White. Hot. Chocolate.
This recipe was listed as a Thanksgiving drink, and I could get behind that. I also could get behind adding some Rumchata or vanilla vodka to make it an adult beverage...maybe another time. :)
Forgive me blogisphere, for I am an unloyal blogger. Perhaps I should resolve to fix that in this still (relatively) new year?
So it's Michigan, it's March, and we just had a snowstorm. It went from 50 degrees to 0 in 12 hours. Your body wants something comforting, yet your brain knows Spring is just around the corner...
In walks this recipe for Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate. It's been burning a whole on my Pinterest board for a few months now...I purchased white chocolate chips with the sole purpose of making this. Being a single gal, I had to use what I had on hand:
1. Used Light Vanilla Soy Milk instead of whole.
2. Cut the recipe in half, then in half again. (I'm only one person!)
3. Did not chop the chocolate. (used chips)
4. Used some sort of chocolate malted powder instead of cocoa powder.
5. Used Pumpkin Pie Spice in place of all the spices listed after cinnamon.
6. Didn't really measure the spices or vanilla....
And guess what?
It was DELICIOUS! MAKE THIS! It's like a hug in a cup! It's great for the fall to winter or winter to spring transition because it's not as heavy as a milk or dark chocolate hot chocolate would be. Personally I love pumpkin all year round, it's super good for you, so why not? :)
There was a recipe for a Vanilla Milk I made to the T except I did the seem substitution for milk, and it was horrible! Bleck! Never making that again.
Difficulty Level: 0 put stuff in pot, boil, enjoy.
Yum Factor: 5 sometimes the simplest things are the most delicious!
