Ingredients:
- ? less fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- pure pumpkin puree (one jar of pumpkin baby food is a great way if you don’t have more uses for a can of pumpkin puree)
- maple syrup (or substitute with monk fruit for a keto pumpkin cheesecake mousse option)
- vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- pumpkin pie spice
- cinnamon
- Whipped cream or Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
- Pamela’s gluten-free graham crackers (or your favorite gluten-free brand)
- Additional pumpkin pie spice for garnish
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with an electric stand mixer on high speed until it becomes creamy and smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup (or monk fruit for a low-carb version), vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon to the cream cheese. Continue to beat until all the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth.
- If you’re using whipped cream, fold it gently into the pumpkin mixture until fully incorporated. For a lighter option, use Cool Whip and gently fold it in.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. If you prefer a lower-fat option, you can use Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream. It will still provide a creamy and fluffy texture.
- Gently fold the whipped heavy whipping cream (or Greek yogurt) into the pumpkin mixture. This will give your mousse a super light and airy dessert texture.
- In a food processor, pulse the gluten-free graham crackers into fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- Melt some butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs. This will create a buttery graham cracker crust for your mousse.
- Take serving glasses, shot glasses, or mini pumpkins for a festive touch, and layer the bottom with the graham cracker crust mixture.
- Carefully pipe using a pastry bag or spoon the pumpkin cheesecake mousse on top of the graham cracker crust in each glass.
- Finish off with a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for garnish.
- Refrigerate your pumpkin cheesecake mousse for at least 2 hours or until it sets.
- Serve chilled as a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving dinner or any time of year when you’re craving those fall flavors.
