Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer the whipped cream to the fridge while preparing the other ingredients.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, and salt to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula. Once mostly combined, fold in the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the mousse light and airy.
Spoon the pumpkin mousse into individual serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set.
Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or crushed graham crackers before serving.
