Ingredients

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

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

  • Spiced Pumpkin Mousse
  • I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk but canned coconut milk would work great too and make for extra thick and creamy mousse.
  • I used maple syrup for sweetening the mousse but you can use your favorite sweetener and if you want a sugar-free version you can use stevia.
  • Recipe adapted from Clean Eating Magazine Spiced Pumpkin Mousse.
