A drink this luscious, deserved its own photo shoot in the sultry light of early morning…
There just aren’t words adequate to describe the rapturous delight that this drink will bring to your mouth. I asked my sister what I should name it, and her suggestion was highly inappropriate for this G rated blog, but she kind of hit the nail on the head. 
Anyway, all I need to say is TRY IT! You will never be the same. The original recipe was HERE, but you know the drill…I can never follow a recipe just-so. I have to make it my own (and in this case a bit healthier). Behold:
Pumpkin Hot (White) Chocolate
1 1/2 cups soy milk (any kind of milk is fine…I’m just lactose intolerant)
1/2 cup pumpkin (puree, from a can)
1/2 t pumpkin pie spice
1/2 t vanilla extract
2 oz white chocolate (1/2 a Ghrardelli bar), roughly chopped
sprinkle of cloves and whipped cream for garnish
Combine milk, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and add in chocolate pieces, stirring until dissolved. Add vanilla. Serve hot with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cloves. Yield 2 servings.
You just try not to drink the entire batch yourself. I dare ya!

Oooh I made this last year and it was SO good! Yours looks amazing!
Really? Isn’t it so delish? I don’t know what rock I’ve been hiding under to have not heard about it before now. But better late than never, right? My life will never be the same
!!
That most definitely looks incredible . . . and exactly like something I would love to jump-start my day!
Also, sending warm thoughts to your pup. Hope Chester feels better really soon.
It so is Meg! This is a MUST try for fall
. Let me know how you like it! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Chester…poor guy. He’s having a rough day of it.
Wow, this looks so good! I’m pinning this one!
Thanks for the pin Hilary! I hope you love it as much as we do
Thank you very much – I was in need of another fall beverage for my party
This one might be my new favorite..with the pumpkin rolls on the side!
You are very welcome. This is a great one for those who love festive hot drinks, but aren’t necessarily into coffee…you know? Oh yes, they would go perfectly with the pumpkin rolls
I like the way you think…
Oh, you know Im going to try this over the weekend!
You won’t be sorry
! Let me know what you think! P.S. I’m making it again over the weekend too

Why thank you Melanie. You are so very sweet. So glad you stopped by and said hello! Happy weekending…
Oh gosh- this looks amazing. I’m trying to imagine your sister’s name for it! Sending love to your pooch.
Hahaha! Yep, her name was pretty accurate
. Thanks so much for the well-wishes…Chester is doing much better today! Still not back to his old self yet, but he’s been out from under the bed more, even chewing on one of his toys! So glad he’s on the mend…
Oh goodness. That looks AMAZING! I have to, HAVE TO make it. Tonight.
Hi Danielle! So did you try it???? I can’t wait to hear what you thought
!
Not yet! I thought I had all the ingredients on hand but I’m missing the white chocolate (apparently my husband has been snacking on my baking supplies when I’m not looking, lol)! Hope to try it soon though
Looks delicious!
It is that
. A fun, hot alternative to coffee during this season!
YES! I make this a lot! It’s like dessert in a mug
xoxo
Really? Oh, isn’t it just amazing? I can’t believe I’m just NOW discovering the deliciousness that is this recipe
. Where has it been all my life???

This is the kind of thing I’d give a total stranger a hug over. It’s okay though — Jenni knows me. She’ll vouch me. I’m cool, I promise.
(Seriously. YUM! I can’t wait to try this.)
Hahaha! Julie! I loved this comment
. Made me smile! I hope you DO try it – it’s so easy, and so delicious! Hope your day was a good one…
