Ingredients

500ml whole milk
50g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped, plus extra to serve
2 tbsp America's Finest Solid Pack Pumpkin
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
2 tsp light muscovado sugar
Whipped or squirty cream, to serve (optional)

Method

Place all the ingredients in a medium saucepan, add a pinch of salt and heat gently, stirring until steaming and evenly combined.
Whisk with a balloon whisk until smooth and frothy.
Pour into 2 mugs and top with the cream, if using, and an extra sprinkling of chopped chocolate.

Cook’s tip

For a dairy-free version, this works brilliantly with barista-style oat drink (and a plant-based alternative to the whipped cream). You could turn the hot chocolate into a mocha by adding a shot of espresso.
