Pumpkin Mousse is the recipe you whip up (literally) when you want pumpkin pie but without all the hassle. It has the taste and texture of pumpkin pie filling but is made in 10 minutes and uses minimal ingredients! It’s a light, creamy dessert that offers a delicate, airy texture, making it perfect for when you’re craving something light yet full of Autumn flavors. Some of my other favorite pumpkin recipes are Pumpkin Pie Bars, Pumpkin Banana Bread, Chai Latte Pumpkin Pie, and Pumpkin Brownies! (For the full recipe, scroll down to the recipe card below)
Pumpkin Puree: 100% pumpkin, unsweetened. (Not pumpkin pie filling) Evaporated Milk: adds to the creaminess of this dessert. Greek Yogurt: Plain. You can use vanilla or pumpkin spice-flavored yogurt if desired. Or, you can use some softened cream cheese. 6-8 oz. is plenty. Instant Pudding: Vanilla. You’ll need one 3.4-oz. box. If you can find the seasonal pumpkin spice, you can use that instead for more pumpkin flavor. Pumpkin Pie Spice: You can buy it store-bought or make your own. Combine 4 tsp. ground cinnamon, 2 tsp. Ground ginger, 1 tsp. Ground cloves, and ½ tsp. ground nutmeg. You’ll only need 1 tsp. for the pumpkin mousse recipe. Heavy cream: Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, ~3 minutes. Vanilla Extract: Adds depth of flavor and enhances the sweetness of the mousse.
