Pumpkin Hot Cocoa

Simple pumpkin and earthy pumpkin spice are the stars in this easy, creamy, comforting pumpkin hot cocoa recipe.

Pumpkin Hot Cocoa • THM • Keto • Sugar Free

Nothing says fall like curling up under a warm, soft, cozy blanket with a big mug of a hot, creamy, sweet hot cocoa. And to make it even more fall inspired, add some pumpkin and pumpkin spice!

The inspiration for this recipe was basically just the desire to have pumpkin pie and hot cocoa at the same time. So I combined the two to create this yummy Pumpkin Hot Cocoa recipe.

And this post should have more words to it to make search engines happy, but I really cannot think of too much else to say about this hot cocoa other than it is pretty yummy and it is great to make in the fall (or autumn) and winter. And it’s Trim Healthy Mama friendly but also works for keto, sugar free, and low carb diets. You could even serve it with your Thanksgiving breakfast or meal (slightly grasping at straws here)!

Things That Go with Pumpkin Hot Cocoa

I have a couple recipes that will go excellent with your hot cocoa! Specifically, my homemade marshmallows recipe (these can be flavored if you like–I recommend caramel, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, or chocolate) and my homemade whipped cream recipe. You could also top it off with store bought fat free Reddi Wip.
