  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 cups mousse 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

15 ounces pure 100% pumpkin puree

1 pint whipping cream

1/4 cup white sugar (confectioners sugar works best for a smoother result)

2 teaspoons vanilla

Mini chocolate chips or butterscotch chips

Cinnamon and nutmeg

Salted caramel or chocolate sauce

Candied pecans or crumbled gingerbread cookies

Instructions

1-First: in a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice until it’s light and fluffy. This step blends the flavors and creates a creamy base that holds everything together nicely.

2-Next, add the 15 ounces pure 100% pumpkin puree and mix it in until fully combined. In another bowl, whip the 1 pint whipping cream with 1/4 cup white sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla until stiff peaks form for that airy topping.

3-Then, fold about three-quarters of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to keep it light. Spoon the mousse into dishes, top with the remaining whipped cream, and add your favorite sprinkles like chips or spices.

4-For the best results, chill it for a bit before serving to let the flavors meld. Remember, for tips on making whipped cream just right, check out this perfect whipped cream recipe.
