Notes
Kylee’s Notes
Pumpkin puree means canned pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling. There is a definite difference!Make ahead, in bulk. You could make a HUGE batch ahead and keep it warm in a slow cooker. Then all you’d need is some hot coffee and everyone could pour their own, and top it with whipped cream (or not). It would be awesome to make this and do an outdoor activity – then come inside for a hot drink!If you are into that idea, you’ll love my Crockpot Hot Chocolate. It’s kind of epic, actually.Microwave instructions: Heat the milk, pumpkin, maple syrup and pumpkin pie spice in a large microwave safe container until just beginning to bubble. Whisk thoroughly, and continue as directed.
Substitutions/Additions
