The other day, Mike had come home and wanted to play video games. Of course most of the games that sounded like fun were one player games, which is fine. Usually when he plays single player games, I sit next to him and either watch or I play on my phone, whether games or browsing on Pinterest. Turns out Pinterest won.
I found this hot chocolate recipe and knew that I had all of the ingredients. I figured that I would pin it and try making it after dinner. It was pretty simple to make, and it tasted pretty good. Mike asked me to make it again for him last night, but I declined. Maybe I'll make him another batch soon!
Ingredients:
2 cups milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons brown sugar
whipped cream or marshmallows for garnish
Heat milk in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in pumpkin, seasonings, and sugar. Whisk until smooth.
Add chocolate and heat until it is melted. Stir frequently!
Once all of the chocolate is melted, you can pour through a mesh strainer to remove clumps, or keep the clumps like I did as it was just chocolate that didn't melt, and adds a little bit more texture and flavor.
Top with your choice of garnish and enjoy!
