Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp pumpkin purée
  • 3-4 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk, I used skim
  • Whipped cream, marshmallow, chocolate sprinkles, cinnamon, to serve (optional.. but not really! ;))

Instructions

  • Place pumpkin purée, sugar, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla extract into a medium sized saucepan.
  • Gradually add the milk, whisking as you go, then turn the heat on low and stir frequently until the mixture is smooth with no lumps of cocoa powder.
  • Bring to a gentle simmer, continuing to stir so nothing sticks. Remove from the heat and ladle into mugs. This will serve 2-3 people depending on the size of mug.
  • There are lots of ways you can garnish; with marshmallows, with cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon, with cream and chocolate sprinkles... go wild with toppings!
