Delicious Bowl of Pumpkin Mousse

This light and airy pumpkin mousse is the perfect no-bake dessert for fall. It’s rich in pumpkin flavor and spices, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: whipped cream and gingersnap cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, powdered sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Divide the mousse into serving dishes or glasses.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.

Notes

For a richer mousse, use full-fat cream cheese in addition to or instead of some of the heavy cream. You can also add a splash of bourbon or rum for an extra layer of flavor.
