One of the best things about fall is that it means more than just sweater weather and dusting off your boots. Instead, you get to fuel up on some cozy hot chocolate—especially when this tasty drink is spiced with pumpkin and fueled by coffee liquor!
Add cocoa powder, whisking until dissolved. Add the milk, dark chocolate, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and bring to a simmer.
Whisk continuously until chocolate has been melted properly. Stir in the Kahlua after.
Pour into mugs and top with whipped cream, a cinnamon stick, and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and sea salt if desired. Serve immediately!
Recipe Note
If you’re looking for something to spice up your hot chocolate, try adding a little sea salt. The salty flavor will really bring out the richness in this drink and create that sweet-salty taste we all love!
