Ingredients

Instructions

  • Stovetop method: Put the almond milk, pumpkin puree, cocoa powder, honey, and pumpkin spice into a saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until the mixture starts to bubble. Reduce the heat to low, and let everything simmer for 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat, and whisk until all the clumps disappear. Pour the hot chocolate into 2 mugs and serve.
  • Microwave method 2: Put half of the ingredients into a microwave safe mug, and the other half in another mug. Then heat one mug at a time for one minute in the microwave. Use a handheld milk frother and mix everything in the mug until it is well mixed and smooth. Then heat each mug for another 30 seconds. Keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn't boil over.

Notes

  • Instead of almond milk, you can use any non-dairy milk of your choice.
  • Instead of honey, you can use maple syrup.
  • Instead of pumpkin pie spice, you can use ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  • You can add 1/4 teaspoon of espresso powder per mug for deeper chocolate flavor.
