Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Whipped Topping

  • 1 pint whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Garnishes

  • Chocolate chips
  • Cinnamon
  • Candied pecans

Instructions

  1. Whip cream cheese mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and fully blended.
  2. Add pumpkin puree: Mix in the pure pumpkin puree with the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
  3. Whip topping: In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream, white sugar, and vanilla together until thick and stiff peaks form, indicating the cream holds its shape.
  4. Fold mixtures: Gently fold about three-quarters of the whipped cream into the pumpkin and cream cheese mixture, blending carefully to maintain the mousse’s airy texture.
  5. Assemble mousse cups: Spoon the mousse into individual serving cups. Top each with the remaining whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate chips, cinnamon, and/or candied pecans for garnish.
