Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spice White Hot Chocolate image

Rich, sweet, and full of pumpkin deliciousness, this special white hot chocolate drink brews up to perfection right in your Crock Pot.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups whole milk
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
4 3- inch cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg plus more for topping
Additional cinnamon sticks for serving
Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Add milk, white chocolate chips, pumpkin, 4 3-inch cinnamon sticks, ginger, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg in a 2 quart or larger slow cooker/Crock Pot.
  • Heat on low for 2 - 3 hours, stirring every 10 minutes or so the first hour (to help distribute the white chocolate as it melts) and then occasionally after that.
  • To serve, ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream, if using. Grate some fresh nutmeg over the top and add a cinnamon stick (the pumpkin tends to settle a bit so the cinnamon stick has the added bonus of acting as a stir stick).

Tips:

  • Use real pumpkin puree: Don't substitute canned pumpkin pie filling, as it contains added sugar and spices.
  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Use a dark or semisweet chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the spices: The pumpkin spice blend is what gives this hot chocolate its signature flavor, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Make it ahead of time: You can make the pumpkin spice syrup up to 2 weeks in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This makes it easy to whip up a cup of hot chocolate whenever you're craving it.
  • Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice: This will add a festive touch to your hot chocolate and make it even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice hot chocolate is a delicious and comforting drink that is perfect for fall and winter. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your hot chocolate rich and decadent or light and refreshing, there's a recipe in this article that's perfect for you.
