Ingredients
  

  • 13.5 oz can of coconut milk see notes below
  • cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • ¼ cup of coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Pour your coconut milk into a small saucepan.
  • Add all other ingredients, whisking to combine.
  • Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
  • Add more regular milk or a dairy-free alternative to thin the mixture, if desired.
  • Pour into mugs when desired temperature and consistency has been reached.
  • (Optional) Serve with mini marshmallows or whipped cream. If serving with whipped cream, consider adding a sprinkling of fresh cinnamon or nutmeg to the top.

Notes

Note: You can put the can of coconut milk in the refrigerator overnight, which can make the hot chocolate creamier.

Second Note: Using the can of coconut milk is going to make this a thicker hot chocolate. If you prefer, you can use regular milk or your favorite non-dairy milk substitute to either thin the recipe or instead of the canned coconut milk.
