Pumpkin Mousse

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
 

  • 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese - softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla - divided
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 to 1 cup crushed ginger snap cookies - optional

Instructions
 

  • Use a mixer to beat cream cheese until there are no lumps.
  • Beat in brown sugar until well combined.
  • Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla, spices and pumpkin until smooth.
  • In another bowl use a mixer to beat heavy cream with remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla and powdered sugar until stiff peaks.
  • Fold three-quarters of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture.
  • Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  • Serve mousse with a large dollop of the remaining whipped topping and top and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.

Notes

You can also fold in a little less of the whipped cream and instead layer the pumpkin mousse with whipped cream in pretty glasses, small canning jars, or dessert shooter glasses. For a crunch, sprinkle some crushed ginger snap cookies on the bottom and/or on the top of the mousse right before serving. You can also use Cool Whip in place of the real whipped cream but, cut the brown sugar back to 1/3 of a cup in the recipe.

  1. I made these for Thanksgiving and it was such a hit, I was asked to make this again for Christmas! My guests who aren’t normally big dessert eaters thought these were the perfect dessert after a heavy meal & not too sweet. Thank you!
