Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole Milk (or milk type of your choosing)
  • 3 ounces sweetened Mexican Chocolate , chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ancho Chile Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Light Brown Sugar

  • 1/4 plus 1/8 teaspoons ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons Pumpkin Puree

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan combine milk, Mexican chocolate, dutch-processed chocolate, ancho chile, brown sugar, allspice, cinnamon and salt over medium-low heat. Stir/whisk frequently to combine and ensure the milk does not burn. Note: whisking helps to incorporate the powdered chocolate.
  • Continue to stir mixture often until the Mexican chocolate is melted. Whisk to fully combine the hot chocolate.
  • Lower heat to lowest setting. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Allow to sit on the low heat for 3-5 minutes for the flavors to fully blend. The chocolate should be smooth, rich and hot. Serve immediately.
