Instructions

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
Add the pumpkin purée, white chocolate chips, sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
For a frothier drink, use an immersion blender to blend for about 30 seconds. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender and blend until creamy and frothy.
Pour into a mug and top with whipped cream. Garnish with ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or a few extra white chocolate chips, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Tips

Gently heat the milk, but don't let it boil.
Stir or whisk continuously after adding the white chocolate to help it melt smoothly.
Adjust the sugar to taste—the white chocolate already adds plenty of sweetness.
For an extra frothy drink, blend briefly with an immersion blender before serving.

Substitutions

Use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk, such as almond or oat milk.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use a combination of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
