Mayan Hot Chocolate

This sounds so intriguing but must admit I haven't tried it yet!

1) Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut squash in half and place in roasting pan, cut sides down. Fill with water to 1 inch. Bake 30 minutes or until squash is tender. Discard seeds and scoop enough pulp to measure 2/3 cup. Puree squash with 1/2 cup milk in food processor until smooth.

2) In a large saucepan, mix remaining 2 cups of milk, chocolate and spices. Heat over a double boiler or in a heavy-bottomed pan, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted and creamy. Remove from heat and whisk in pureed squash. Reheat.
