I have a fabulous pumpkin spice white hot chocolate recipe to share with you today! This recipe is based on the white hot chocolate recipe I shared with you. It seemed to be such a hit I decided to share some of my other seasonal hot chocolate favorites.
There is something extra cozy about a mug of pumpkin spice white hot chocolate when the air turns crisp. It tastes like fall in a cup. The white chocolate keeps it silky and sweet, while the pumpkin spice blend brings warm notes of cinnamon and friends. The flavors are perfect to warm your belly this time of year. I love to have a cup first thing in the morning while I am easing into my day. Do you have a favorite way to start your day? Do you like to start it with a warm beverage in hand, or do you jump in with both feet?
This pumpkin spice white hot chocolate recipe is so super easy it’s not even funny! It only takes a few minutes to make right in your own kitchen. If you have guests over you can double or even triple the recipe easily and put it in a mixing bowl to microwave, or even in a saucepan over the stove to heat up on low.

Helpful tips for the best texture
Heat low and slow. White chocolate can scorch if it gets too hot. Gently warm the milk and whisk until everything is smooth and steamy, not boiling.
Sweeten to taste. Depending on your white chocolate, you may not need much extra sweetener. Taste before you add more.
Spice it your way. Start with your favorite pumpkin pie spice blend, then adjust. A pinch of extra cinnamon or nutmeg can make it your own.
Make it dairy free if you like. Your favorite non-dairy milk works here. Almond, oat, or coconut milk all make a creamy cup.
Easy topping ideas
Keep it simple or dress it up. Try a little whipped cream or coconut whip, a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, a dusting of nutmeg, or a light drizzle of caramel. A tiny pinch of sea salt brings out the sweetness.
Serving ideas and simple pairings
This pumpkin spice hot chocolate is perfect for slow mornings, movie nights, or after a walk in the leaves. If you want more pumpkin flavor in your day, you might also enjoy my Pumpkin Pie Smoothie, for a quick breakfast, or a chilly treat like Dairy Free Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream

Make ahead and for a crowd
You can make a single mug in minutes, or scale it up for friends and family. Warm gently in a saucepan and keep it on the lowest heat, stirring now and then. A small slow cooker on warm also works if you want to set it out for guests with a little toppings bar. Leftovers can be cooled, covered, and refrigerated, then rewarmed slowly on the stove.
