PUMPKIN in a Thermomix Hot Chocolate! I can hear you all already ... and yes I was the same, but when Sue from Thelma and Souise set me a challenge to try this hot chocolate with pumpkin what could I do...
I had to stop the nagging, so I worked up the courage and made it! Well I was amazed!! I could not taste the pumpkin at all!! It was sensational!
This makes approximately 3 mugs. The recipe can also be halved.
This would make a great late night small meal, especially for lactating mothers, as it is so nutritionally dense. Would go very nicely with a lactation cookie too. :)
This is a great base recipe that you can adapt and use any type of milk you prefer e.g. almond milk or any type of sugar you prefer. The spices too, could be altered to please your own personal taste.
If you have any leftovers you can make Spiced Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Puddings!

Thanks for the recipe. I found the hot drink a little too spicy for me so toned it down with more milk. I also used some sweet potato to make up the quantity as I didn't have enough pumpkin.
I made the spiced pumpkin puddings later with the 2 cups of leftovers but the spices worked perfectly in the puddings. Delicious little morsels.
