🎃 Homemade Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa

Inspired by The Country Cook — here’s how we do it out here in the wild:

🧺 What You’ll Need:

  • 2 cups milk (or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin purée
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar (or maple syrup)
  • ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream + cinnamon for topping

🥄 How to Make It:

  1. Whisk milk, pumpkin, cocoa, sugar, and spices in a saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Bring just to a simmer, stirring until smooth and steamy.

  3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and pour into your favorite mug.

  4. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Bonus Tip: Add a splash of espresso for the ultimate fall mocha moment.
