It&#8217;s creamy and sweet, with the irresistible spiced pumpkin flavor that heralds autumn. Thanks to the addition of canned pumpkin, there&#8217;s nothing stopping you from sipping this one until spring arrives.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heavy whipping cream:<\/strong> Whipped cream on top and mixed into the base of this spiced pumpkin hot chocolate makes it seem like a fancy coffee shop drink. The recipe includes instructions for making your own whip for the topping, but you can also substitute the kind in a can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Granulated sugar provides a foundation of sweetness in both the whipped cream and the pumpkin base of this hot cocoa recipe. You can adjust the amount to reach your desired level of sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> Because this is a white chocolate hot cocoa base, the flavor of vanilla is key in this recipe. Pick up one of our recommendations for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-vanilla-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best vanilla extract brands<\/a>.

You can use whole or even mix in some half-and-half for an indulgent result.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cinnamon sticks:<\/strong> Adding cinnamon sticks infuses the milk for this spiced pumpkin hot chocolate with warmth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pumpkin pie spice: <\/strong>A spice blend that contains ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and several other warm spices, a pie spice blend is an easy way to add lots of flavor with one jar,<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange zest:<\/strong> Citrus zest adds lovely freshness to this sweet beverage. Don&#8217;t forget to strain out the filaments of zest as you serve the hot chocolate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned pumpkin:<\/strong> While many beverages bearing the name pumpkin are simply soused with a spiced syrup, we add real pumpkin puree to this recipe for a dose of sweetness, lovely texture and pale orange color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>White baking chips: <\/strong>White chocolate chips melt into the beverage and give it a sweet flavor and a velvety texture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the whipped cream<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2053461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Pumpkin-Spice-Hot-Chocolate_TOHD24_178511_NicolePerry-2-scaled.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Whipping cream\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Nicole Perry for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a medium bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken.
