Fall is here, and what better way to welcome the season than with a luscious Pumpkin Mousse? This creamy, dreamy dessert captures the warm flavors of pumpkin spice as well as that cozy, heartwarming essence of autumn. Imagine spooning into a smooth, velvety mousse that dances on your taste buds with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg! Did you know that pumpkin is not only delicious but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants? That makes this treat as wholesome as it is delightful!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup heavy cream chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • A pinch of salt
  • Optional: Gingersnap crumbs or whipped cream for topping

Method
 

  1. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  2. Mix Pumpkin Base: In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until blended and smooth.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—this will keep your mousse light and airy!
  4. Chill: Once combined, transfer the mousse into individual serving cups or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set properly.
  5. Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of gingersnap crumbs for a delightful crunch.
