Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 15 ounces pure 100% pumpkin puree

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

  • candied pecans

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium size bowl, whip together the cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until light and fluffy and completely blended.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree and mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip together the whipped topping ingredients until it becomes thick and stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold together about 3/4 of the whipped topping with the pumpkin cheesecake mixture until completely mixed in.
  5. Spoon the mousse into individual cups. Use the remaining 1/4 of the whipped topping to top the mousse. Then sprinkle on chocolate chips, cinnamon, or candied pecans.

Notes

  • Save time by making the base of the mixture ahead of time, and wait until just before serving to mix in the whipped topping.
  • This dessert is gluten free! No crust makes it a very easy recipe to make for any of your GF guests.
  • To make it dairy free, you can easily substitute the whipped topping for whipped coconut milk. All you need is a can of coconut milk that has been refrigerated so it is nice and cold. Then, whip the coconut milk with sugar and vanilla in the recipe until it becomes thick and stiff peaks form.
  • For a lighter version, use light cream cheese instead of regular, and light whipped topping in place of heavy cream. If you are making it with coconut milk, you can also find light coconut milk.
