Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 tsp Ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, honey, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until fully combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form, using an electric mixer on high speed (this may take about 3-4 minutes).
Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture in three additions, ensuring you retain as much air as possible for a fluffy mousse.
Once the mixture is fully combined and light in texture, spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours to chill and set properly.
Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a light sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
