Notes
- To achieve a smooth and creamy pumpkin filling, make sure to beat the cream cheese and brown sugar properly before adding sugar, spices, and pumpkin puree.
- For a light and airy mousse texture, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks to guarantee light consistency.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Be sure that the pie is firm before slicing or it will fall apart. For perfectly cut slices, place the pie in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing after pie has set.
