Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate

Oh, this sounds really good! Since it’s getting rather nippy out, a mug of Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate is just the ticket! From niceats.blogspot.com.

Pumpkin White Hot Chocolate
(Makes 2 large mugs)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons pumpkin
2 cups milk
1/2 cup white chocolate (chips, chunks, whatever)
A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice** (if tolerated- see below)
milk frother


Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, white chocolate, and pumpkin. Wisk periodically allowing chocolate to melt and ingredients meld together. Once ingredients are mixed and very warm, pour into 2 mugs. Using your milk frother, froth the milk until you have several inches of delicious foam. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice at your own risk... Enjoy!!

(Warning- my little milk frother had a little bit of pumpkin in it after frothing this mixture- I soaked it in hot water and soap and was able to pull the little bits of pumpkin out. As an alternative, you can just froth the milk and pour it on top- however, just know this pumpkin foam is to die for, trust me.)

**So, pumpkin pie spice has cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves listed as ingredients. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all on the "foods worth trying" list. Cloves, however, are a caution ingredient. Sprinkle at your own risk- if I would have looked up cloves before topping my drink with this spice concoction, I would have just left this out or topped it with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. However, I didn't. So. top at your own risk! (all that being said, that tiny bit of sprinkling caused no pain.)
