Pumpkin Chia Mousse combines pumpkin puree, non-dairy milk, chia seeds, and warm pumpkin pie spices to create a smooth, lightly sweetened mousse with a gentle gelled texture from chia seeds. Topped with crushed graham crackers and optional whipped topping or Greek yogurt, it makes a seasonal, chilled dessert or snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup non-dairy milk
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
  • ⅓ cup chia seeds
  • ¼ cup maple syrup pure
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 2 graham cracker sheets I used Annie's, full
  • whipped topping for serving, or Greek yogurt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a high powered blender or food processor add milk, pumpkin, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Blend on high until smooth. Taste and add more maple syrup or pumpkin pie spice if needed.
  2. Transfer mousse to a resealable container, cover and refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
  3. Crush the graham crackers. To do so you can process them in a mini-chopper or put them in a plastic baggie and roll over with a rolling pin.
  4. Scoop about 1/2 cup mousse into small ramekins. Top each serving with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs and whipped topping or Greek yogurt, if using. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use canned coconut milk for a creamier and thicker mousse texture.
  • Maple syrup can be replaced with your preferred sweetener; stevia works for sugar-free versions.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 3-4 hours to ensure proper thickening of chia seeds.
