Pumpkin Mousse Recipe
Description
The Pumpkin Mousse Recipe blends canned pumpkin puree with cold heavy cream whipped to medium-stiff peaks, Greek yogurt, evaporated milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Vanilla extract adds aromatic depth. The ingredients are combined gently to retain the mousse’s airy texture.
The mousse is chilled for at least an hour to set and develop flavor. Its texture is creamy and light, with a gentle pumpkin and spice flavor, making it a smooth, festive dessert without requiring baking. It can be portioned into dishes and garnished with toppings like whipped cream, pecans, crushed ginger cookies, or graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
This dessert can be made ahead and stored covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days, maintaining freshness. The use of instant pudding mix simplifies preparation while contributing to the mousse's consistency.
