Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt White Chocolate & Pumpkin: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add whole milk, white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and ground cinnamon. Whisk continuously for 3 to 4 minutes until the chocolate completely melts into a silky, steaming golden liquid. Do not let it boil.
  2. Stir in Vanilla & Froth: Remove saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, use a handheld milk frother for 20 seconds to create rich, velvety microfoam on top.
  3. Brew Espresso: Pull two fresh shots of espresso (or pour 1/2 cup of hot, strongly brewed dark roast coffee) and divide evenly between two large heatproof glass mugs.
  4. Pour & Assemble: Pour the steaming spiced white chocolate pumpkin milk gently over the espresso in each mug.
  5. Crown & Garnish: Top generously with a cloud of vanilla whipped cream, delicate curls of shaved white chocolate, a dusting of pumpkin pie spice, and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Serve piping hot!
