Hot chocolate is my go-to hot drink in the winter, but sometimes it's fun to change things up a bit. This pumpkin drink is so full of fall flavor. It's a lot like a pumpkin pie in liquid form. This was a great way to use some leftover pumpkin and sweetened condensed milk that were hanging out in my fridge after Thanksgiving. I didn't have any gingersnap cookies, but if I had, they would have gone perfectly with this drink.
Pumpkin Steamer
Ingredients:
3 cups milk (2% or whole)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice*
2 teaspoons vanilla
whipped cream (for garnish)
cinnamon (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Blend all ingredients (except the whipped cream and cinnamon) together in a blender until smooth and frothy.
2. Pour into a medium-sized saucepan and heat on medium high, stirring constantly until warmed through.
3. Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream and cinnamon.
*Instead of pumpkin pie spice I used 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, a pinch of ground cloves, and a pinch of ground ginger.
