Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Baking Chips
  • 1 tbsp Torani Pumpkin Pie Sauce
  • 1/4 cup World Market® Pumpkin Spice Ground Coffee
  • 1 cup water
  • Hammond's Caramel Pumpkin Marshmallows, for garnish
  • Cream, for garnish
  • World Market® Whole Cinnamon Sticks Spice Bag, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Using a Bialetti Moka Maker, fill the bottom chamber with water until level with the valve, about 1 cup.

Step 2

Fill the funnel with the ground coffee and level off the grounds. Make sure the rim is free of any coffee grounds.

Step 3

Screw moka pot’s spouted top on tightly.

Step 4

Place moka pot on the stove over medium heat. If using a gas stove, make sure the flame is not larger than the base of the pot so that the handle is not exposed to the heat.

Step 5

Once you hear a hissing, gurgling sound, remove moka pot from heat, about 5–10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat milk over medium high heat until steaming and small bubbles form around the edge. Do not let milk boil.

Step 7

Add chocolate chips and pumpkin pie sauce, stirring with a whisk until smooth and melted.

Step 8

Using a ladle, pour hot chocolate into a heat-safe mug, about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Top off with pumpkin coffee. Add garnishes like cinnamon stick spice, marshmallows, cream or drizzled pumpkin pie sauce.
