Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 0.5 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.125 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 3-quart saucepan

Method
 

  1. Whisk the milk, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until steaming but not boiling.
  2. Add the white chocolate chips and whisk over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Serve hot.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, keep the mixture steaming but do not let it boil. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freezer storage is not recommended. For a dairy-free variation, use plant-based milk and dairy-free white chocolate chips.
