Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon pumpkin puree
  • 3 tablespoon coconut sugar
  • cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups milk of choice I use almond milk
  • whipped cream or whipped coconut cream, cinnamon powder and sprinkles to serve

Instructions

  • Into a medium sized saucepan add the pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Slowly add in the milk, whisking as you go.
  • Turn the heat to low and stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps of cocoa powder remaining.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, continuing to stir occasionally so that nothing sticks. 
  • Once the mixture is smooth and has reached the desired temperature, remove from the heat and ladle into mugs. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or some actual sprinkles.
