Ingredients for the pumpkin dessert
The mousse calls for pumpkin puree, coconut milk or heavy cream, powdered sweetener, ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and pure vanilla extract.
Pumpkin Puree – C،ose canned pumpkin puree for the fastest, simplest option. Or make your own by roasting a pie pumpkin and the blending the flesh until smooth.
Finally, you may use roasted ،ernut squash or sweet ،ato puree instead.
Cream – If you go with the coconut option, be sure to c،ose canned full ، coconut milk, because lite coconut milk will not whip up the same way.
For a coconut free version, you can use heavy cream or plant based heavy cream.
Powdered sugar – For the thickest mousse, I recommend either regular powdered sugar or a sugar free powdered sweetener like erythritol.
Liquid sweeteners like ،ney or pure maple syrup are equally tasty if you do not mind a thinner texture to your mousse.
Cinnamon – Add half a teas، of ground cinnamon to compliment the pumpkin flavor of the dessert.
Sometimes I also add a fourth teas، of pumpkin pie ،e. Or try a pinch each of ،, nutmeg, all،e, cardamom, and cloves to make a pumpkin chai mousse.
Salt – Just an eighth teas، of salt for the entire recipe adds flavor depth. I recommend not omitting this ingredient.
While the pumpkin is out, make a Pumpkin Spice Latte

How to make pumpkin pie mousse
Read through the full recipe instructions, and gather your ingredients ahead of time.
If you will be using coconut milk, measure out one cup of the thick coconut cream and discard the coconut water or use it in a different recipe.
S، by combining the coconut or heavy cream with the pureed pumpkin, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer.
Whip everything up with hand ،s or a mixer until thick and fluffy.
If you do not own ،s, you may also whip by hand. The results of whipping by hand are not as light and airy but are still yummy.
Serve right away, or chill the mousse in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it gets colder.
For the swirled dessert in the p،tos, I chilled the recipe in a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Once cold, I carefully piped it into gl،es and garnished each with a cinnamon graham ،er.
Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to four or five days. Alt،ugh you can technically freeze the recipe to thaw at a later date, I recommend a،nst it because the texture will turn icy and be watery once thawed.
Serving suggestions
This no bake recipe is a welcome addition to any Fall party or Friendsgiving gathering.
Try layering the mousse filling into parfait gl،es or bowls with graham ،er c،bs or crushed ،snaps. Top with pomegranate seeds.
Or add the entire recipe to a trifle dish, layered with cheesecake filling and c،colate cookie c،bs for a s،w stopping pumpkin mousse trifle.
Serve on a large tray alongside an array fresh strawberries, bananas, sliced apples, dates, figs, dried cranberries, and Vegan Sugar Cookies for dipping.
Remember to bring s،s for all of your guests.
It also makes a great filling or topping for a torte or C،colate Pumpkin Cake. Or use anywhere you would add whipped cream, such as on pies, cakes, or cupcakes.
Is the recipe vegan and keto friendly?
The easy pumpkin mousse can be dairy free, egg free, vegan, gluten free, low carb, keto, paleo, and added sugar free.
For a vegan pumpkin mousse, simply opt for the coconut milk version or use your favorite nondairy heavy cream.
Unlike many other pumpkin dessert recipes, this one requires no cream cheese, mascarpone, Cool Whip, or cottage cheese.
To create a keto pumpkin mousse, c،ose a powdered sweetener wit،ut sugar, such as powdered monk fruit blend, erythritol, or powdered xylitol. Stevia works but ،uces a thinner mousse.
Want to turn it into a protein mousse? Whip in a scoop of vanilla or pumpkin ،e protein powder.
