This warm drink combines two of my favorite flavors: pumpkin spices and chocolate. Really, you can’t go wrong here. Even though fall doesn’t officially start until September 23rd, it was here the moment I took a drink of this spicy, comforting hot chocolate drink.
When I saw this picture of a pumpkin white hot chocolate on Pinterest, I knew I had to recreate it. It is as good as it looks and sounds. The spicy flavors of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves meld perfectly with creamy white chocolate. The result is a rich, delectable drink that is fabulous on a chilly autumn evening.
Don’t forget when you are drinking it, the pumpkin is providing you with vitamin A, C, and E, as well as calcium, iron, potassium, copper, and manganese. I’d say that totally makes up for the sugar from the white chocolate chips, wouldn’t you?

Looking for a caffeinated coffee pumpkin drink? Averie at Loves Veggies and Yoga posted a recipe for a homemade version of Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spiced Lattes last week. Check that one out if you want a coffee version. For me, this white chocolate version is perfect way to satisfy my pumpkin spiced latte craving without giving Baby Bean the shakes from caffeine. And with the addition of chocolate. That’s always a good thing. Enjoy!
this looks so good!! thanks for linking up!
That looks incredible! I really want to give this a try 😀 I’m kicking myself for not having a supply of white chocolate chips on hand!
Ah this looks delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Ok, I LOVE this idea. The combination of white chocolate + pumpkin sounds divine! Thanks, Maryea. Can’t wait to try this out.
watch out starbucks! this one had any holiday drink beat!
cant wait to try it
Wow, I can not wait to try this! Looks amazing. LOVE pumpkin. 🙂
Yumm-O! This is right up my alley…..love pumpkin, spices and white choc. Gotta get some white choc and I’ll be all set to try. Much better and healthier than paying way too much at Starbucks!!
Looks delicious! Such a great marriage of fall flavors.
Even though it was 100 degrees here today, I think that looks amazing. I can’t wait to make it!
I am not a big white chocolate fan, but I am thinking this would be fabulous with some dark chocolate 🙂
Talk about the perfect way to warm up on a cool Fall day! This looks delicious!
Didn’t want Baby Bean to turn into a Jumping Bean 😉 …..This looks so good! I want to make this and watch a girly movie!
I was eating white chocolate chips yesterday – couldn’t resist – and was thinking, “gosh, these would be SO good with pumpkin.” 🙂 Looks and sounds delicious. Can’t wait for the first cold day – I’m going to make this instead of my usual hot chocolate. 🙂
We’ve had a few nice, chilly days so far. 🙂
That sounds delicious! I’m jumping into the pumpkin drinks/foods with both feet!
Why not, right?!
Maryea, your white hot chocolate sounds and looks fabulous. Thanks for linking up to my pumpkin spice latte coffee version.
I am a HUGE white choc fan (cough, cough) my last post of white chocolate fudge should prove that 🙂 and your hot choc sounds delish!
I can´t imagine a more soothing and delicious fall drink. I´ve never tried combining pumpkin and white chocolate but it sounds amazing! And of course the pumpkin makes up for the sugar in the chips. 😉
I’ve been making my own simple version of the Pumpkin Latte… but this looks like it would blow the socks of it! I always have a supply of white chocolate so I’ll be makeing this recipe in a little bit as an afternoon treat for the kids.
I hope everyone enjoyed it! 🙂
Mmmm pumpkin and chocolate do go SO well together!

The more I read, the more I enjoy, and the more I find in common with you! I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter, I used to be an elementary school teacher, I am expecting my second very soon, and I am passionate about feeding my family the healthiest foods possible!
