Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

September 28, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Do you think it’s ok to toot your own horn? I’m normally not the kind of person that would brag, but sometimes I just think you need too! So today I am bragging, but I’m bragging for good reason! I kid you not, I really think I make the best, healthy, low-calorie hot chocolate ever!! It’s like liquid gold in chocolate form. I made my famous Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate last year for Christmas breakfast and my whole family, including Jenny’s boyfriend Jerry said it was the best hot chocolate they have ever had. It’s thick, creamy, chocolaty and doesn’t contain any sugar. It’s the ultimate chocolate lovers drink!! Here is a picture of it!
Super Chocolaty Hot Chocolate
I figured with the cooler evenings and chilly mornings that hot chocolate was the way to go! It won’t hurt your waistline, it’s gluten-free, vegan and totally guilt-free to give to your kids! But today I am not sharing with you a recipe I have already made, but I share with you a change-up to my original recipe to celebrate the Fall season. This is my Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Oh man, I may have out done my self on this one! The drink is chocolaty with the perfect blend of pumpkin and spices. It’s super thick, creamy and simply perfect for having after pumpkin picking or anytime of the day when you need a little sweetness and of course pumpkin!!! I think I will always need pumpkin.  darn that pumpkin.  Are you getting sick of seeing pumpkin recipes yet??
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
The drink is made with unsweetened coconut milk in the carton. Please do not use canned coconut milk, it will not work with this recipe. You can find unsweetened coconut milk in the isle with the soy milk and almond milk. I used Trader Joe’s brand, it’s my favorite. Oh and you don’t taste the coconut in this drink! If you do not have coconut milk, I recommend whole milk. You want something thick and I think non-fat milk will make it to watery, but you can try.  I bet it will still taste good.
Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
As for the remaining ingredients, I used unsweetened cocoa powder, use a good one for pure rich chocolate taste! I also used two tablespoons of canned pumpkin, stevia, vanilla extract, a pinch of pumpkin spice and dash of cornstarch to thicken it up. I added all the ingredients in a medium pot, and over low heat and I whisked it until the pumpkin was dissolved, and it got thick and bubbly. It took maybe ten minutes tops. Poured it into a glass and topped it with some marshmallows.

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
I made this drink for Jenny and she poured it in her to go mug and off to work she went. She told me it tasted wonderful. What I love about Jenny is she is a big pumpkin fan just like me!!! I swear she’s really my daughter and not my step-daughter, were like two peas in a pod!  My poor, poor Husband.  lol

I hope you have a wonderful day! I want to go shopping for some Fall clothes, like boots, jeans, chunky sweaters and Fall props for my blog. We shall see how the day goes!

Enjoy your weekend!


Toodles,

Jennifer

    I love hot chocolate, I’m not a coffee drinker. This sounds amazing with the coconut milk!

    At the first sign of fall, I broke out all my pumpkin/fall-related decorations. I absolutely love this time of year! I could see that pumpkin hot chocolate being the perfect evening drink for a weekend, or maybe even a weekday. Recently I made some delectable pumpkin cookies (not to brag either, but they were probably the BEST I’ve ever had…lol) and I could see them pairing very well with this!

        I’m really trying to hold up “my end” of my hubby and my blog. Right now, admittedly, he does alot of it. I really want to get into posting recipes, as well. That recipe was a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe, that I had gotten from Pinterest. Because I love pumpkin, I ended up adding just a little more pumpkin than they had asked for…. 🙂

    ok i hope this is not a stupid question but i dont know much about cooking and cornstarch and etc… but what does the cornstarch do? do you have to use it for this recipe if you do not have any.
    thanks! 🙂

      Hi Kris! Cornstarch thicken the hot chocolate up, but honestly you don’t need it. Your drink may not be as thick, but it will not sacrifice the flavor at all. Try it, I am pretty sure your hot chocolate will turn out wonderful!!

      Thanks Kammie! Funny I never think of hot chocolate until the chilly nights are here! Get your cornstarch, or if you have xanthum gum, I am sure that would work great too!

    I love the look of this. It’s nowhere near as unhealthy as the pics suggest, and living in Brazil – where we have coconuts milk practically on tap, and lots of unsweetened coco, this will be great for the kids.
    Thanks for the share.

I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year.

I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.

The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
