vegan pumpkin hot chocolate {recipe}
You guys
already know I love chocolate milk a million times over.
But also, did you know, I love pumpkin so, so much?
Because I do. I really do.
Last weekend I decided to make El Duke and El SamSam
these cookies. That's not what I'm here to tell you about today, but while I have your attention:
make those cookies. They're crazy good and anytime I can get a fruit (/basically almost a vegetable) in a cookie is a time I can feel 100 percent OK with eating the whole batch in one weekend. Which, we did.
However, today I need to tell you about something even better than those cookies (which is saying a lot). It is the marriage of two of my most favorite things:
the chocolate beverage
+
pumpkin
=
pumpkin hot chocolate
Did I mention it's vegan?
It's vegan.
You guys.
I can't even.
I don't even know how to tell you how quickly you need to run to the kitchen and make this stuff.
Here's what you're going to need to do for my version (
inspired by this one, but obviously I couldn't just follow her instructions. That would be way too easy.)
Ingredients:
2 C. almond milk (
this is my fav, fav kind, btw. If you've yet to try it - get to trying!
PS Am I bossy today?)
2 C. of water (add more if it tastes too rich)
2 C. of water (add more if it tastes too rich)
1/4 C. pumpkin (canned is fine)
3/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
3 T unsweetened cocoa
4 T agave
Dash of salt
To make:
Put everything in pot on stove top on medium heat
Whisk until blended and liquefied
Pour in favorite mug
...and enjoy :)
Told ya it was easy - and tasty!
Let me know if you try it :)
PS Don't be mad but I poured mine over ice.
I had to. It was amaze.
PPS I also added some of the leftovers to my coffee yesterday.
PPPS Next time I am going to try it with vanilla and make a latte because I mostly prefer it to chocolate.
