Why You'll Love This Recipe

Light & Spicy: This Boozy Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate is warm and comforting. I use milk chocolate as oppose to cocoa powder or dark chocolate so it's incredibly light, which pairs so well with the pumpkin spice.

Homemade Whipped Cream: I make my own Homemade Whipped Cream and the whipped cream just melts into the cocoa, which is always my favorite part! If you take the extra time to make Homemade Whipped Cream, this will be the best hot chocolate with pumpkin spice ever! I love serving this with a cinnamon stick as you can stir it up and add a bit more spice to your cocktail.

Boozy: If you are trying to decide between a cocktail and hot chocolate, you don't have to with this recipe for Boozy Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate! I love hot chocolate with pumpkin spice, but this really takes it to the next level! This makes the perfect fall drink for a cozy night in or even to serve at a Halloween party.
