Reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Serve accordingly.
Notes
If you would like to top the chocolate with some vegan whipped cream. I like to follow this tutorial guide
As previously stated the pumpkin spice mix is enough to cover the recipe to hand. If you would like to make large or multiple batches of hot chocolate, double or triple the quantity to suit.
Feel free to turn this recipe into a dry mix by combining the cacao powder with the pumpkin spice mix and granulated sweetener if using. By doing so you will already have the majority of the recipe prepared with only a few steps outstanding.
Any leftover pumpkin puree can be frozen in small batches/containers and used another time.
